Read the content of a GDScript (.gd) file
AI agents call read_script to retrieve information from Godot MCP Unified without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves file contents without side effects. It matches the Read category definition: 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects (search, list, get, fetch).' The verb 'read' and the query-like nature of accessing file content confirm this classification. Severity is low because reading a script file poses minimal risk — it cannot modify engine state, delete data, or execute code.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'read_script' and description explicitly states 'Read the content of a GDScript (.gd) file' — a pure retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read the content of a GDScript (.gd) file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot MCP Unified MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Godot MCP Unified MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for read_script: 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.
read_script 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 read_script 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 read_script. 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.
read_script is provided by the Godot MCP Unified MCP server (pierrealexandreguillemin-a11y/godot-mcp-unified). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
