export_project · Godot MCP Unified MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What export_project does on Godot MCP Unified

AI agents invoke export_project to trigger actions in Godot MCP Unified. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why export_project needs a policy

Exporting a project triggers an external build/compilation operation that produces platform-specific binaries. This is an Execute-category action as it runs a significant external process (Godot's export pipeline) whose effects (output files, build artifacts) depend on arguments like target platform and preset.

Verdict

export_project Rate-limited

export_project stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

How do I enforce a policy on export_project? +

Register the Godot MCP Unified MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_project: 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 Unified. Nothing to install.

What risk level is export_project? +

export_project is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit export_project? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_project 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 export_project completely? +

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