WHAT IT DOES

What set_animation_tree_root does on Godot MCP Server

AI agents use set_animation_tree_root 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 set_animation_tree_root needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies animation tree configuration reversibly. While it changes game asset state, it does not execute arbitrary code (Execute), delete data (Destructive), or involve financial operations. The modification is reversible via undo/redo in the Godot editor. Severity is medium rather than high because misuse would affect only animation behavior, not system integrity or critical game logic.

From the tool's definition set_animation_tree_root sets properties on an AnimationTree node, modifying the animation system configuration. The description uses the verb 'Set' with 'root AnimationNode type', indicating persistent modification of game asset properties.
