- Homepage: https://github.com/quangdang46/uefn-verse-mcp
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "select_by_class",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why select_by_class is rated High

This tool triggers an editor operation (selection) that affects the state of the live UEFN editor environment. While it doesn't delete or write persistent data, it executes an editor action that modifies the active selection state, which can have downstream effects (e.g., subsequent batch operations acting on the selection). It goes beyond a pure read/query operation because it changes editor state.

From the tool's own definition: "Select all actors of a given class in the current level"

## Use case

AI agents invoke select_by_class to trigger actions in Uefn. 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Uefn:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "select_by_class": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "select_by_class_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
