What read_texture_info does on Godot
AI agents call read_texture_info to retrieve information from Godot without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
path | string | Yes | Path to texture asset (e.g. "sprites/hero.png") |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why read_texture_info is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves metadata about a texture asset in the Godot Engine project. The verb 'read' and absence of any modifying language confirm this is a pure read operation with no capability to alter, delete, or execute code. Blast radius is minimal—an AI agent cannot misuse this to cause harm beyond potentially learning unintended information about project assets.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'read_texture_info' and description 'Read texture asset info' explicitly indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

The rule that runs read_texture_info safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Godot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For read_texture_info, this is the rule to start with:
read_texture_info is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot, apply this rule, and every read_texture_info call is checked against it from then on.
