AI agents call get_inspector_refs to retrieve information from Unity without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves configuration metadata about a GameObject's component—specifically which assets and objects are wired in the Inspector. It performs pure introspection of a Unity scene's data graph with zero side effects, no code execution, and no data mutation.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Get[s] all Inspector-wired field references' and 'Shows what Unity assets/objects are linked'. The verbs 'get' and 'show' are retrieve operations with no modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all Inspector-wired field references for a specific component on a specific GameObject. Shows what Unity assets/objects are linked in the Inspector. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unity MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Unity MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_inspector_refs: 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. Nothing to install.
get_inspector_refs 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 get_inspector_refs 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 get_inspector_refs. 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.
get_inspector_refs is provided by the Unity MCP server (verysleepylemon/unity-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_inspector_refs is one line of Unity's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
