What read_script does on Godot MCP Server

AI agents call read_script 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.

Why read_script needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves existing source code from a GDScript file. It performs no modifications, deletions, or execution of code—only inspection. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk; the only concern would be if the source code itself contained sensitive information, but that is a data sensitivity issue rather than a tool capability risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'read_script' and description states it 'Read[s] the source code of a GDScript file.' The verb 'read' and absence of any modification language clearly indicate data retrieval with no side effects.
