Get the direct children of a node.
AI agents call get_node_children to retrieve information from Godot MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves node hierarchy information from the Godot scene tree. It performs no state changes, does not execute code or commands, and has no side effects. It is a pure information retrieval operation, which is characteristic of the Read category. The blast radius is minimal since it only exposes existing scene structure data that can be examined through the Godot editor directly.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_node_children' and description 'Get the direct children of a node' indicate retrieval of hierarchical data structure information without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the direct children of a node. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Godot MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_node_children: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Godot MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_node_children is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_node_children rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_node_children. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_node_children is provided by the Godot MCP Server MCP server (neondeex/godotmcp-pro-free-client). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
