What scene_dependency_graph does on Godot
AI agents call scene_dependency_graph 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.
Why scene_dependency_graph is rated Low
This tool performs dependency analysis, which is a read-only operation that examines existing scene relationships in the Godot project. It retrieves information about how scenes depend on each other but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any code. The verb 'analyze' confirms passive data inspection with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'scene_dependency_graph' and description 'Analyze inter-scene dependencies' indicate a query/analysis operation that retrieves and examines relationships between scenes without modifying them.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs scene_dependency_graph 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 scene_dependency_graph, this is the rule to start with:
scene_dependency_graph 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 scene_dependency_graph call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about scene_dependency_graph
Analyze inter-scene dependencies. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Godot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scene_dependency_graph: 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.
scene_dependency_graph 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 scene_dependency_graph 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 scene_dependency_graph. 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.
scene_dependency_graph 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.
