AI agents call editor_get_node_properties to retrieve information from Godot without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |

path | string | Yes | Node path to inspect |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves node property metadata from the Godot editor without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a read-only query operation with minimal blast radius—the worst outcome would be information disclosure of internal node structures, which is low severity in a development context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'editor_get_node_properties' and description 'Read all editor-visible properties of a node' explicitly indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'get' and 'read' confirm retrieval-only semantics.

Read all editor-visible properties of a node. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
editor_get_node_properties 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 editor_get_node_properties: 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.
editor_get_node_properties is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the editor_get_node_properties 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 editor_get_node_properties. 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.
editor_get_node_properties 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.
editor_get_node_properties is one line of Godot's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
