rename_node · Godot MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What rename_node does on Godot MCP Server

AI agents use rename_node 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 rename_node needs a policy

Renaming a node is a reversible modification operation that changes node properties within a game scene. It does not execute code, destroy data irreversibly, or affect financial systems. The modification is localized to a single node's identifier and can be undone by renaming again, fitting the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool is named 'rename_node' and described as 'Rename a node in the scene.' This modifies metadata of an existing scene element.
