Preview safety policy and diff summary metadata for proposed writes or deletes
AI agents call preview_write_safety 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.
The tool only previews/summarizes what would happen for proposed writes or deletes — it does not actually perform any write or delete operations. It reads and returns metadata about safety policies and diffs, making it a Read category tool with low severity.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access preview_write_safety 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 preview_write_safety:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"preview_write_safety": {}
}
}preview_write_safety is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Preview safety policy and diff summary metadata for proposed writes or deletes. 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 preview_write_safety: 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.
preview_write_safety 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 preview_write_safety 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 preview_write_safety. 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.
preview_write_safety 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.
