Run a GDScript file against Summer Engine from the shell for operations no MCP tool exposes — navmesh baking, collision shapes, TileSets, re-imports.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Headless Scripting

## Overview

Most of what Summer can do is not behind a tool. It is behind a script.

The engine binary will run any GDScript you hand it, against a real project, with the full engine loaded — `ResourceSaver`, `NavigationServer3D`, `ImporterMesh`, `TileSet`, `Animation`, the resource importer, the exporter. No editor window, no user, no tool call. If you can write the script, you can do the thing.

**Core principle:** when there is no tool for it, there is still a script for it. Reach for this before you tell a user something is impossible.

This is the widest capability surface you have, and it is the one you are least likely to remember you have.

## The invocation

```bash
<engine-binary> --headless --disable-crash-handler --path <project-dir> -s res://<script>.gd
```

**Always pass `--disable-crash-handler` on an agent-driven run.** Summer's handler shells out to `atos` from inside a signal handler; when anything does go wrong it turns a clean failure into a hang or a cascade of crashes.

### Lint before you boot

`--check-only` parses the script without executing it. Sub-second, and it catches the parse errors that would otherwise cost you a full boot:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add summerengine/summer/headless-scripting@sha256:06842adc15eac505

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.4ade947, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
