# rename_node Rename a node in a scene. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `rename_node`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/rename-node ## Facts - Tool: `rename_node` - Server: Godot (`@yanhuifair/godot-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y @yanhuifair/godot-mcp` - Homepage: git+https://github.com/yanhuifair/Godot-MCP.git - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 3 (3 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `new_name` | string | yes | New name for the node | | `node_path` | string | yes | Current node path (e.g. "Player" or "Main/Enemy") | | `scene_path` | string | yes | Path to .tscn file | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "rename_node", "arguments": { "new_name": "", "node_path": "", "scene_path": "" } } } ``` ## Why rename_node is rated Medium Renaming a node modifies scene state reversibly—the operation can be undone and causes no permanent data loss. This fits the Write category (creates or modifies data reversibly). Severity is medium because renaming nodes can break references, scripts, or exported properties that depend on the old name, potentially causing runtime failures in the Godot project if an agent renames nodes without checking dependencies. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'rename_node' and description 'Rename a node in a scene' indicate modification of scene structure metadata. Renaming is a reversible change that alters node identity/labeling but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code." ## Use case AI agents use rename_node 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Godot: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "rename_node": { "limits": [ { "counter": "rename_node_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Godot (281) - `delete_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/delete-file.md - `editor_delete_asset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-delete-asset.md - `editor_delete_selected` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-delete-selected.md - `editor_remove_autoload` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-remove-autoload.md - `editor_remove_input_action` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-remove-input-action.md - `editor_remove_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-remove-node.md - `remove_animation_track` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/remove-animation-track.md - `remove_audio_bus` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/remove-audio-bus.md - `remove_autoload` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/remove-autoload.md - `remove_input_action` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/remove-input-action.md - `remove_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/remove-node.md - `remove_shader_graph_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/remove-shader-graph-node.md - `compile_shader` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/compile-shader.md - `editor_bake_lightmaps` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-bake-lightmaps.md - `editor_bake_navigation` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-bake-navigation.md - `editor_debug_break` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-debug-break.md - `editor_debug_continue` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-debug-continue.md - `editor_debug_step` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-debug-step.md - `editor_debug_step_over` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-debug-step-over.md - `editor_enable_plugin` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-enable-plugin.md - `editor_evaluate_expression` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-evaluate-expression.md - `editor_focus` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-focus.md - `editor_get_class_doc` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-get-class-doc.md - `editor_open_asset` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-open-asset.md - `editor_open_dock` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-open-dock.md - `editor_play` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-play.md - `editor_reimport_asset` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-reimport-asset.md - `editor_reload_scene` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-reload-scene.md - `editor_run_gdscript` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-run-gdscript.md - `editor_run_specific_scene` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp/editor-run-specific-scene.md - …and 251 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/yanhuifair-godot-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
