AI agents call list_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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
path | object | — | Subdirectory to search (default: root) |
recursive | object | — | Search recursively (default: true) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool queries and returns a list of scene files from the Godot project. It is a read-only operation that retrieves information about existing scenes without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The operation has minimal security impact as it only enumerates project assets.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_scenes' and description 'List all .tscn scene files' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution.

List all .tscn scene files. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
list_scenes accepts 2 parameters: path, recursive. 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_scenes: 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_scenes 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_scenes 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_scenes. 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_scenes 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_scenes 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.
