MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous MCP4Modal Sandbox tools

Destructive · High remove_path The tool name 'remove_path' strongly suggests deletion or removal of files or directories. Execute · Critical execute_command execute_command runs code or shell commands in a Modal.com sandbox with GPU support. Execute · High launch_sandbox Launching a sandbox environment is an Execute action—it triggers creation of an external computational resource whose subsequent effects depend on what commands are run within it. Write · Medium make_directory make_directory creates new directories within a sandbox environment.

7 of MCP4Modal Sandbox's 11 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control MCP4Modal Sandbox

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP4Modal Sandbox, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "remove_path": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "make_directory": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "make_directory_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "list_directory_contents": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "list_directory_contents_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about MCP4Modal Sandbox

Can an AI agent delete data through the MCP4Modal Sandbox MCP server? +

Yes. The MCP4Modal Sandbox server exposes 1 destructive tools including remove_path. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through MCP4Modal Sandbox? +

The MCP4Modal Sandbox server has 4 write tools including make_directory, push_file_to_sandbox, terminate_sandbox. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach MCP4Modal Sandbox.

How many tools does the MCP4Modal Sandbox MCP server expose? +

11 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 4 are read-only. 7 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on MCP4Modal Sandbox? +

Register the MCP4Modal Sandbox MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every MCP4Modal Sandbox tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 11 MCP4Modal Sandbox tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
