What query does on Unity-MCP

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

Why query needs a policy

With no description available, the name 'query' most commonly implies a read/retrieval operation. However, in the context of a Unity MCP server that also exposes execute_code and scene analysis tools, 'query' could potentially execute scene queries or runtime operations. Confidence is low due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'query'; description is empty and uninformative.

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

How to control query

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

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

query 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 — 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.

Questions about query

What does the query tool do? +

query. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unity-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on query? +

Register the Unity- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query: 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 Unity-MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is query? +

query is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit query? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the query 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.

How do I block query completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for query. 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.

What MCP server provides query? +

query is provided by the Unity- MCP server (tsavo/unity-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Unity-MCP tool call.

Start from Unity-MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
