## Why editor_create_script is rated Medium

This tool creates a new GDScript file, which is a write operation that modifies the project state by adding a new asset. While reversible (the file can be deleted), it represents persistent creation of project data. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money, so Write is the appropriate category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'editor_create_script' with description 'Create and open a new GDScript in the editor.' The verb 'Create' and action of generating a new script file represents data creation."

Risk signals: Accepts file system path (path) · Accepts raw HTML/template content (template)

## Use case

AI agents use editor_create_script 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)
