load_sprite · Godot MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What load_sprite does on Godot

AI agents use load_sprite to create or update resources in Godot — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Godot environment.

PARAMETERS

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`node_path`	string	Yes	Node path (Sprite2D or TextureRect)
`scene_path`	string	Yes	Path to .tscn file
`texture_path`	string	Yes	Texture resource path (e.g. "res://icon.svg")

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why load_sprite needs a policy

This tool modifies a node's state by assigning a texture resource to it. It creates/updates a property on an existing scene node, which is a reversible write operation. Misuse could corrupt sprite references in a scene, but effects are localized and reversible.

Verdict

load_sprite Rate-limited

load_sprite stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
