create_atlas_texture · Godot MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_atlas_texture does on Godot

AI agents use create_atlas_texture to create or update resources in Godot — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Godot environment.

PARAMETERS

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`path`	string	Yes	Output path (e.g. "textures/sprite_atlas.tres")
`region`	object	—	[x, y, w, h] region rect
`atlas_texture`	string	Yes	Path to source texture

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_atlas_texture needs a policy

This tool creates and persists a new texture resource file, which is a reversible write operation. While it modifies the project state by adding a new asset, it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. It falls clearly into the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a .tres resource file (AtlasTexture asset), which writes new data to the filesystem. The name 'create' and description 'Create AtlasTexture .tres' explicitly indicate a resource creation operation.

Verdict

create_atlas_texture Rate-limited

create_atlas_texture stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
