Get the current Unity Editor state including project information

How to control get_editor_state ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool queries and retrieves current editor state and project metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk—an AI agent using it can only learn about the current project configuration. No data is altered, no code is executed, and no irreversible actions are taken.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_editor_state' and description states 'Get the current Unity Editor state including project information'. The verb 'Get' and action of retrieving state information without modification indicate a read-only operation.

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

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

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

get_editor_state 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 Unity MCP Integration — 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.
