What read_particles does on Godot

AI agents call read_particles 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.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
scene_path object Filter to a specific scene
particle_type object Filter: GPUParticles3D, CPUParticles3D, GPUParticles2D

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why read_particles needs a policy

This tool queries or lists existing particle systems in the Godot project without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a passive data retrieval operation with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'read_particles' and description 'List particle systems' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'read' and 'list' are characteristic of Read category tools.

What parameters does read_particles accept? +

read_particles accepts 2 parameters: scene_path, particle_type. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on read_particles? +

Register the Godot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for read_particles: 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.

How do I block read_particles completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for read_particles. 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.

What MCP server provides read_particles? +

read_particles 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.
