WHAT IT DOES

What set_node_position does on Godot

AI agents use set_node_position 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`value`	string	Yes	Position: "x,y" for 2D, "x,y,z" for 3D, or "Vector2/3(...)"
`node_path`	string	Yes	Node path
`scene_path`	string	Yes	Path to .tscn file

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_node_position is rated Medium

This tool modifies node properties (position coordinates) within a Godot scene, which is a reversible state change typical of Write operations. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or perform financial transactions. Severity is medium because misconfiguration could disrupt game logic or visual layout, but effects are reversible and scoped to individual node properties.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_node_position' and description 'Set node position (2D/3D auto-detect)' indicate modification of node state in Godot Engine. The verb 'set' confirms a write operation that alters existing scene data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_node_position 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 set_node_position, this is the rule to start with:

set_node_position Rate-limited

set_node_position stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "set_node_position": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "set_node_position_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Godot, apply this rule, and every set_node_position call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about set_node_position

What does the set_node_position tool do? +

Set node position (2D/3D auto-detect). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Godot MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does set_node_position accept? +

set_node_position accepts 3 parameters: value, node_path, scene_path. Required: value, node_path, scene_path. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on set_node_position? +

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

What risk level is set_node_position? +

set_node_position is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit set_node_position? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_node_position 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.

How do I block set_node_position completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_node_position. 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 set_node_position? +

set_node_position 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.
