Graph dry-run crashes Unreal Editor when connecting pins on nodes added in the same patch
Summary
A Graph Domain patch ... dry run can crash Unreal Editor when the same ordered patch adds contextual palette nodes and then connects/disconnects pins involving those newly added aliases.
The MCP call loses its runtime connection and Unreal terminates on an UEdGraphPin::GetOwningNode() assertion. Because this is a dry run, it should return either a valid plan or a diagnostic and must not crash the editor.

blueprint_graph_edit cannot reliably build Actor BP to AnimBP instance variable chain
blueprint_graph_edit cannot reliably build common AnimBP instance access chain
Summary
While implementing an Animation Blueprint driven bow string workflow, blueprint_graph_edit could not reliably create a common Blueprint graph chain:
SkeletalMeshComponent reference
-> Get Anim Instance
-> Cast to Anim Blueprint generated class
-> Set variable on AnimBP instance
This chain is a standard workflow when an Actor Blueprint needs to pass runtime values into an Animation Bluepr

execute can hard-crash Unreal on invalid package path and returns poor recovery state
Summary
Calling mcp__loomle__.execute with Python code that accidentally passes an invalid Unreal asset package path to unreal.load_asset() can hard-crash Unreal Editor. After the editor restarts/reconnects, subsequent execute calls may report Python runtime is not initialized, while other LOOMLE tools still report the runtime as connected/degraded.
This was triggered during a whole-project AnimBlueprint scan.

Looking for Unreal MCP and UE agent tooling feedback
I am looking for feedback from developers working on Unreal Engine MCP servers, AI agent tooling, editor automation, Blueprint tooling, PCG workflows, Material graphs, or UMG tools.
LOOMLE is an MCP tool for operating live Unreal Engine projects through UE-semantic tools rather than raw scripts first. The current focus is:
- attach to a running Unreal project
- read active editor context and selection
- inspect Blueprint, Material, PCG, and Widget assets
- use UE palettes for node/widget creat

Promote global loomle client + formalize 'loomle mcp' as the agent runtime entrypoint
Summary
LOOMLE should stop depending on Codex-managed MCP configuration and instead treat the globally installed loomle CLI as the stable agent entrypoint.
In this model:
loomleis a client/launcher, not an MCP serverloomlediscovers the current UE project and runtimeloomleconnects to the project/runtime MCP server on behalf of the agent- the agent executes

moveNode reports success but Blueprint nodes do not visibly move; coordinates/width not observable
Summary
In UE 5.7 + loomle-mcp-server v0.2.10, graph.mutate reports successful moveNode operations (changed=true), but selected Blueprint nodes do not visibly move in the Blueprint editor. This blocks agent-driven layout operations.

[Proposal] UE Editor Error Ingestion Channel for Agent (Fast + Reliable)
[Proposal] UE Editor Error Ingestion Channel for Agent (Fast + Reliable)
Background
Current UE-side errors come from multiple sources (runtime logs, Blueprint compile, build/hot-reload, PIE/test, asset load failures). For agent workflows, we need one unified channel that is low-latency and does not lose critical events when real-time transport is unavailable.
Goal
Build a lightweight error ingestion pipeline that:
- Normalizes multi-source UE errors into one schema.
- Streams real-time

[0.7.12] SAL Graph dry-run crashes Unreal in MaterializeDefinition / SetGivenSelfScope
Summary
patch <graph> dry run can crash Unreal Editor while materializing a Blueprint UK2Node_CallFunction. I reproduced the same access violation twice, first with Loomle Bridge 0.7.10 and again after upgrading to 0.7.12.
The MCP client only receives runtime.connection_closed; the Editor process terminates and UE writes a crash dump.
Environment

Add a resident use-unreal-python safety workflow Agent Skill
Summary
Add a resident Loomle Agent Skill for safely using the unrestricted Unreal Python fallback, tentatively named:
use-unreal-python
The Skill should guide an agent through capability selection, API discovery, idempotent script design, continuation polling, post-failure recovery, explicit persistence, and result verification.
This should be workflow policy only. It should not grant a new Unreal capability or replace the structured SAL interfaces.
Motivation

[0.7.6] Creation-only Graph dry run crashes UWidgetBlueprint sandbox in UObjectAnnotation cleanup
Summary
A Graph-domain dry run that only creates one contextual function-call node crashes Unreal Editor while Loomle builds the Blueprint sandbox.
This is different from #185: there are no connect, disconnect, default-value writes, creation-alias pin references, or ordered graph mutations. The assertion occurs while duplicating and compiling the UWidgetBlueprint sandbox, then purging duplicated objects.

status reports RUNTIME_BUSY while runtime accepts asset RPCs
Summary
After updating to Loomle 0.6.20 and restarting the Unreal project, loomle.status can keep reporting RUNTIME_BUSY / degraded even though normal asset RPCs work immediately afterwards.

### Tool names with dots fail Claude desktop MCP validation (e.g. graph.list)
Claude desktop (v1.9659.2) rejects Loomle MCP tools with this error:
tools.10.FrontendRemoteMcpToolDefinition.name: String should match pattern '^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}$'
Tool names like graph.list, graph.query, graph.mutate contain dots which
Claude desktop's MCP validator does not allow. The hammer icon never appears.
Fix: rename tools using underscores (graph_list, graph_query, graph_mutate).

### Add UserDefinedStruct inspect/create/edit support
## Summary
Loomle currently supports asset-level work for Blueprint, enum, Material, PCG graph, and WidgetBlueprint, but does not appear to expose equivalent support for Blueprint UserDefinedStruct assets.
This is a practical gap when working on Blueprint-facing data contracts or UI data models.
## Requested Capability
Add support for UserDefinedStruct assets, similar to enum support.
Possible tool coverage:
- `asset_create` with `kind: "userDefinedStruct"`
- `asset_inspect` with `kind: "u

### Expand context tool with reliable Blueprint editor selection details
## Summary
The existing `context` tool is useful, but Blueprint editing workflows need richer and more reliable active-editor selection details.
When a user says “look at the selected node”, Loomle should be able to resolve the current Blueprint editor, active graph, selected nodes, and selected pins into stable references that can be passed directly to later inspect/edit tools.
## Proposed Extension
Extend the existing `context` tool rather than adding a separate selection tool.

## Summary
`blueprint_palette` returns add-node recipes that `blueprint_graph_edit` cannot execute as-is, and `blueprint_graph_edit` dry-run can report success for function node creation that fails during the real operation.

### widget_mutate: setProperty cannot write slot properties (LayoutData, Padding, ZOrder, alignment)
## Summary
`widget_mutate`'s `setProperty` op can only write **widget-own properties** (e.g. `Font`, `ColorAndOpacity`, `WidgetStyle`). It cannot write **slot properties** such as `LayoutData`, `ZOrder`, `Padding`, `HorizontalAlignment`, `VerticalAlignment`, etc., even though `widget_describe` correctly reports these as `writable: true` under `slotProperties`.
## Reproduction

### Feature: UMG Widget Tree primitive for WidgetBlueprint editing
## Problem
Loomle's `graph.*` tools operate on Blueprint **EventGraph** nodes (K2 graph), but UMG `WidgetBlueprint` assets contain a second, entirely separate data structure: the **WidgetTree** (the hierarchy of Slate/UMG widgets built in the UMG Designer panel).
These two structures are unrelated:
- `graph.query` / `graph.mutate` → EventGraph nodes and pins ✅
- WidgetTree (CanvasPanel, ScrollBox, Button, TextBlock hierarchy) → not reachable ❌
Currently there is no way for an agent to read or

### Website install instructions do not match the shipped installer/package on macOS
## Summary
On 2026-03-29 I tried a fresh macOS install in an Unreal project from the canonical instructions on https://loomle.ai/.
I hit three separate mismatches between the website, the installer script, and the shipped `v0.4.1` package:
1. The homepage command uses `sh -s -- install --project-root "$PWD"`, but `install.sh` currently requires Bash syntax and does not accept the `install` positional argument.
2. The installer default latest path resolves to `loomle-latest`, but that release
