What create_directory does on Godot
AI agents use create_directory 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
path | string | Yes | Directory path to create (relative to project root) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why create_directory is rated Medium
Creating a directory is a reversible write operation—the directory can be deleted if needed. It modifies the filesystem structure of the Godot project by adding a new directory, making it a Write action rather than Read (no query/retrieval), Execute (no command execution), Destructive (reversible), Financial, or Other.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_directory' and description states 'Create a directory in project.' This is a filesystem write operation that creates a new directory.

The rule that runs create_directory safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Godot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_directory, this is the rule to start with:
create_directory 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot, apply this rule, and every create_directory call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_directory
Create a directory in project. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Godot MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
create_directory accepts 1 parameter: path. Required: path. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Godot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_directory: 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. Nothing to install.
create_directory is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_directory 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 create_directory. 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.
create_directory is provided by the Godot MCP server (@yanhuifair/godot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
