load_sprite · Godot MCP Unified MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What load_sprite does on Godot MCP Unified

AI agents use load_sprite to create or update resources in Godot MCP Unified — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Godot MCP Unified environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why load_sprite needs a policy

This tool modifies a scene by loading and assigning a sprite/texture resource to a Sprite2D node, which is a write operation (creating/modifying data). It is reversible as the texture assignment can be changed or removed. Severity is medium since misuse could corrupt scene configurations.

load_sprite Rate-limited

load_sprite 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.
