Get node information from a Godot scene

How to control node_get ↓

AI agents call node_get 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.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves or queries node metadata and properties from a scene without modifying, deleting, or executing code. It is a read-only inspection operation typical of project introspection. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an agent cannot cause harm by querying scene structure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'node_get' and description 'Get node information from a Godot scene' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access node_get 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 node_get:

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

node_get 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 Godot Devtool — 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.

What does the node_get tool do? +

Get node information from a Godot scene. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot Devtool MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on node_get? +

Register the Godot Devtool MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for node_get: 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.

What risk level is node_get? +

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

Can I rate-limit node_get? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the node_get 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 node_get completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for node_get. 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 node_get? +

node_get 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.

Enforce policy on every Godot Devtool tool call.
