What set_shader_node_param does on Godot

AI agents use set_shader_node_param 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.

value string Yes New value
node_index number Yes Node index

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why set_shader_node_param needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies shader node parameters, which affects the visual rendering pipeline but is reversible. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or cause financial impact. Severity is medium because misconfigured shader parameters could impact game rendering or performance, but changes are not destructive and can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Set a parameter on a VisualShader node', which modifies shader configuration. The action is reversible—parameters can be changed again or reset.

Questions about set_shader_node_param

What does the set_shader_node_param tool do? +

Set a parameter on a VisualShader node (constant, expression, operator, etc.). 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_shader_node_param accept? +

set_shader_node_param accepts 4 parameters: path, param, value, node_index. Required: path, param, value, node_index. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on set_shader_node_param? +

Register the Godot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_shader_node_param: 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_shader_node_param? +

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

Can I rate-limit set_shader_node_param? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_shader_node_param 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_shader_node_param completely? +

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

set_shader_node_param 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.
