AI agents call editor_get_recent_scenes 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.
This tool retrieves historical metadata about recently opened scenes from the Godot editor state. It performs a read-only query that returns information without modifying any data, creating, executing commands, or altering the system state. The scope is limited to editor session history, making it low severity.
