recursive object Search recursively (default: true)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why list_projects needs a policy

This tool performs a directory scan and lists Godot projects, which is a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects. It gathers and returns information but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose file system structure information about Godot projects.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_projects' and description states it will 'Scan directory for Godot projects' — a query operation that retrieves information about existing projects without modifying anything.
