AI agents call list_scripts 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 | object | — | Filter by script type |
recursive | object | — | Search recursively (default: true) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves information about script files in a Godot project, categorizing them by type. It performs no side effects, creates no resources, executes no code, and makes no modifications. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation, consistent with the Read category for list/query tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_scripts' and description states 'List all script files grouped by type' — a read-only query operation that retrieves and groups existing data without modification or execution.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all script 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_scripts accepts 3 parameters: path, type, 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_scripts: 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_scripts 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_scripts 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_scripts. 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_scripts 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_scripts 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.
