close_scene · Godot MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What close_scene does on Godot MCP Server

AI agents use close_scene to create or update resources in Godot MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Godot MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why close_scene needs a policy

Closing a scene is a reversible write operation—the scene file remains on disk and can be reopened. It changes the editor's active state but does not delete or permanently destroy data. While it could cause loss of unsaved work if misused by an agent without saving first, the operation itself is not destructive (the scene persists).

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'close_scene' and description states 'Close the currently open scene.' This modifies editor state by closing a scene resource that is currently loaded.

Verdict

close_scene Rate-limited

close_scene stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
