create_environment · Godot MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_environment does on Godot

AI agents use create_environment 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 for new Environment .tres (e.g. "environments/default.tres")
`preset`	object	—	Preset: default, stylized, dark, or bright

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_environment needs a policy

This tool creates (writes) a new environment configuration from a preset, which is a reversible operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move financial assets. The severity is medium because an AI agent could create unwanted environment configurations that affect rendering, audio, or physics settings in the game project, requiring manual cleanup but no permanent damage.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_environment' and description 'Create Environment from preset' indicate creation of a new environment resource in Godot.

Verdict

create_environment Rate-limited

create_environment 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.
