AI agents call read_light_2d 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
light_type | object | — | Filter: PointLight2D, DirectionalLight2D |
scene_path | object | — | Filter to scene |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves and enumerates light node configuration data from the Godot scene tree. It performs no mutations, executions, deletions, or financial operations. The read-only nature and informational purpose place it squarely in the Read category with low severity, as misuse would only expose scene metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'read_' prefix and description states 'List PointLight2D/DirectionalLight2D nodes with energy and shadow settings' — a pure query operation that retrieves existing light node properties without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List PointLight2D/DirectionalLight2D nodes with energy and shadow settings. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
read_light_2d accepts 2 parameters: light_type, scene_path. 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 read_light_2d: 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.
read_light_2d 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 read_light_2d 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 read_light_2d. 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.
read_light_2d 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.
read_light_2d 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.
