## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "edit_scene",
    "arguments": {
      "path": "<path>",
      "operations": []
    }
  }
}
```

## Why edit_scene is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies scene data reversibly. It does not delete (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or move money (Financial). However, batch edits to a scene can have broad impact on game structure and behavior, justifying 'high' severity—a misused batch operation could corrupt or significantly alter game scenes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Apply batch operations to a scene' — directly modifies scene state in Godot. The name 'edit_scene' and context of sibling tools (add_animation_library, add_node, add_script_export, etc.) confirm this performs write operations on game…"

Risk signals: Accepts file system path (path) · High parameter count (17 properties)

## Use case

AI agents use edit_scene 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Godot:

```json

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "edit_scene": {
      "limits": [
        {

          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
