Get the UID for a specific file in a Godot project (for Godot 4.4+)
AI agents call get_uid to retrieve information from Godot Devtool without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata (a unique identifier) associated with a file in a Godot project. It performs a query-like operation with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive action. The UID is internal project metadata used for file references in Godot's resource system.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_uid' and description 'Get the UID for a specific file' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_uid gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Godot Devtool, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_uid:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_uid": {}
}
}get_uid is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the UID for a specific file in a Godot project (for Godot 4.4+). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot Devtool MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Godot Devtool MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_uid: 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 Devtool. Nothing to install.
get_uid 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_uid 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_uid. 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_uid is provided by the Godot Devtool MCP server (wangdiandao/godot-devtool). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
