setup_collision · Godot MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What setup_collision does on Godot MCP Server

AI agents use setup_collision 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 setup_collision needs a policy

This tool creates or adds a new collision component to a node, which modifies the scene structure reversibly. It is a Write operation—data is created and added to the scene, but the action is reversible (the collision shape can be removed).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'setup_collision' and description 'Add a CollisionShape3D/2D with a given shape to a node' indicate creation/modification of collision properties within the Godot scene tree.

Verdict

setup_collision Rate-limited

setup_collision stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add a CollisionShape3D/2D with a given shape to a node. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Godot MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on setup_collision? +

Register the Godot MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for setup_collision: 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.

What risk level is setup_collision? +

setup_collision is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit setup_collision? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the setup_collision 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.

How do I block setup_collision completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for setup_collision. 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.

What MCP server provides setup_collision? +
