Search for files matching a pattern inside the project.
AI agents call search_files 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 is a straightforward read operation that searches and lists files matching a pattern. It has no side effects, cannot modify game state, and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent. Severity is low because the blast radius is limited to information disclosure of file paths within the project.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Search for files matching a pattern inside the project' — a query operation that retrieves file metadata without modifying, deleting, or executing anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search for files matching a pattern inside the project. 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 search_files: 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.
search_files 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 search_files 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 search_files. 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.
search_files 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.
