What transform_node does on Godot

AI agents use transform_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.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
scale object 2D: "Vector2(2,2)" or "2,2" | 3D: "Vector3(1,1,1)" or "1,1,1"
position object 2D: "Vector2(100,200)" or shorthand "100,200" | 3D: "Vector3(0,5,0)" or shorthand "0,5,0"
rotation object 2D: float radians e.g. "1.57" | 3D: "Vector3(0,1.57,0)" or shorthand "0,1.57,0"
node_path string Yes Node path (e.g. "Player" or "Main/Player")
scene_path string Yes Path to .tscn file (relative to project root)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why transform_node needs a policy

This tool modifies node properties (position, rotation, scale) in a scene, which is a reversible write operation. It changes data within the Godot scene but does not execute code, delete anything, or involve financial transactions. Misuse could alter scene layouts but changes can be undone.

Questions about transform_node

What does the transform_node tool do? +

Apply a combined transform (position, rotation, scale) to a node in a scene. 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 transform_node accept? +

transform_node accepts 5 parameters: scale, position, rotation, node_path, scene_path. Required: 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 transform_node? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit transform_node? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the transform_node 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 transform_node completely? +

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

transform_node 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.
