godot_import · Godot MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What godot_import does on Godot MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why godot_import needs a policy

Importing/reimporting assets creates or modifies project metadata and asset indices within Godot. While reversible (assets can be re-imported or removed), this operation changes the project's state and could cause unexpected behavior if applied to wrong files or in wrong order. Not destructive (doesn't delete), not execute (doesn't run arbitrary code), not financial.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Import/reimport assets in a Godot project', which modifies project state by processing and registering asset files into the engine's internal database.

godot_import Rate-limited

godot_import stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
