Never let an LLM’s raw text run as code. Have the model return structured output (a function call or JSON matching a schema), validate it against a whitelist of allowed actions and parameters, then let your game code – not the model – execute the action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Treat the LLM as an untrusted client. Never eval() its text, never let it write to game state directly, and never pass its output straight to a scripting API. Instead, ask the model for structured output – a JSON object or a function call with a fixed schema (action name plus typed parameters) – then validate that object in your own code before anything happens in the game. If the action name or a parameter isn’t on your whitelist, reject it and display plain dialogue text instead.<\/p>\n

If you’re building the game with an AI coding agent, the same ‘agent proposes, code executes’ split applies to your tooling. Playgama MCP<\/a> gives an agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code) the developer-cabinet actions – creating the game, uploading builds and covers, editing leaderboards and items, publishing a sandbox link – while the agent itself still writes all the game code, including your LLM action handlers.<\/p>\n
