Lists files in the Godot project filesystem under a given directory. Args: - directory (string, optional): res:// directory path (default:
AI agents call godot_list_files to retrieve information from Godot MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs directory enumeration within a Godot project, retrieving metadata about files without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk even if misused by an agent—the worst outcome would be information disclosure about project structure. Confidence is high due to clear read-only semantics.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'godot_list_files' and description 'Lists files in the Godot project filesystem under a given directory' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves directory contents without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Lists files in the Godot project filesystem under a given directory. Args: - directory (string, optional): res:// directory path (default:. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Godot MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for godot_list_files: 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 Server. Nothing to install.
godot_list_files 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 godot_list_files 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 godot_list_files. 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.
godot_list_files is provided by the Godot MCP Server MCP server (ricky-yosh/godot-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
