What select_object does on Unity MCP with Ollama Integration

AI agents invoke select_object to trigger actions in Unity MCP with Ollama Integration. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why select_object needs a policy

Selecting an object in the Unity Editor triggers an editor operation/action rather than a passive read. It changes the editor's selection state, which can have side effects (e.g., triggering Inspector updates, selection-based scripts, or workflows). However, it does not modify asset data or delete anything, so the blast radius is low.

How to control select_object

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Unity MCP with Ollama Integration, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for select_object:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "select_object": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "select_object_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

select_object stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Unity MCP with Ollama Integration — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
