What light_list does on Uefn

AI agents call light_list to retrieve information from Uefn without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why light_list needs a policy

This tool retrieves information about existing light actors in an Unreal Editor level. It performs a read-only operation that queries and returns data without modifying, deleting, or executing any changes to the level state. The verb 'list' is characteristic of Read category tools. No irreversible actions, code execution, or data modification occurs.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'light_list' and description 'List all light actors in the level with their types and properties' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access light_list gives an agent:

How to control light_list

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Uefn, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for light_list:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "light_list": {}
  }
}

light_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Uefn — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
