AI agents call list_import_files 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 | object | — | Subdirectory to search (default: root) |
type_filter | object | — | Filter by imported asset type (e.g. "png", "wav", "obj") |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool queries and lists existing .import metadata files in a Godot project. The verb 'list' combined with the passive data retrieval nature (grouping existing files for display) confirms this is a Read operation. It has minimal blast radius—misuse would only result in unwanted information disclosure about project imports, not system or data modification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_import_files' and description 'List .import files grouped by type' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

List .import files grouped by type. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
list_import_files accepts 2 parameters: path, type_filter. 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 list_import_files: 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.
list_import_files 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 list_import_files 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 list_import_files. 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.
list_import_files 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.
list_import_files 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.
