editor_toggle_snap · Godot MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What editor_toggle_snap does on Godot

AI agents invoke editor_toggle_snap to trigger actions in Godot. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why editor_toggle_snap needs a policy

Toggling the 3D snap mode in the Godot editor is an editor state change that triggers an external operation (modifying editor behavior/settings). It doesn't read data, write persistent content, or destroy anything, but it does change the active editor mode/state, making Execute the most appropriate category. The blast radius is low as it only affects snap behavior in the 3D editor.
