add_autoload · Godot Mcp Pilot MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What add_autoload does on Godot Mcp Pilot

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why add_autoload needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies project-level configuration (autoloads/singletons) that affects all game scenes and runtime behavior. While not destructive (changes are reversible), it is a Write operation that alters persistent project state. Severity is high because a malicious autoload could inject arbitrary GDScript to execute on every scene load, affecting game behavior globally.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it can 'Add or update an autoload (singleton) in the project settings' — directly modifying project configuration that persists across sessions.
