WHAT IT DOES

What diff_animation does on Godot

AI agents use diff_animation 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_a`	string	Yes	First animation .tres path
`path_b`	string	Yes	Second animation .tres path

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why diff_animation is rated Medium

An AI agent can call diff_animation faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Godot by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs diff_animation 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 diff_animation, this is the rule to start with:

diff_animation Rate-limited

diff_animation 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.

    "diff_animation": {
      "limits": [
        {

      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot, apply this rule, and every diff_animation call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about diff_animation

What does the diff_animation tool do? +

Compare two Animation .tres files. 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.

What parameters does diff_animation accept? +

diff_animation accepts 2 parameters: path_a, path_b. Required: path_a, path_b. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on diff_animation? +

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

What risk level is diff_animation? +

diff_animation is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit diff_animation? +

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

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

diff_animation 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.
