Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves viewport configuration data. It performs no state changes, does not execute code or commands, and does not delete or modify data. It is a straightforward read operation on viewport settings, placing it in the Read category with low severity since viewport settings are typically non-sensitive engine configuration.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description explicitly indicate 'Read Viewport settings' — a query operation retrieving configuration without modification or side effects.

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