Inspects a GameObject, listing all components and their public fields/properties.
AI agents call inspect_object to retrieve information from MCP For Unity without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a query operation that reads the properties and components of a GameObject in the Unity Editor. It returns data (list of components and public fields) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The verb 'inspecting' and the passive structure 'listing' indicate pure information retrieval.
From the tool's definition The tool 'inspects a GameObject, listing all components and their public fields/properties' — it retrieves and displays information without modifying state or triggering side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Inspects a GameObject, listing all components and their public fields/properties. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP For Unity MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP For Unity MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for inspect_object: 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 MCP For Unity. Nothing to install.
inspect_object 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 inspect_object 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 inspect_object. 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.
inspect_object is provided by the MCP For Unity MCP server (yunuscan/mcpforunity). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
