## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |

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": "transform_node",
    "arguments": {
      "node_path": "<node_path>",
      "scene_path": "<scene_path>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why transform_node is rated Medium

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.

From the tool's own definition: "Apply a combined transform (position, rotation, scale) to a node in a scene"

## Use case

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.

## 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": {
    "transform_node": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "transform_node_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
