Find all colliders within a box volume.
AI agents call unity_physics_overlap_box to retrieve information from Unity MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a spatial query to detect/retrieve colliders within a defined box volume. It reads physics world state without modifying anything, making it a pure read/query operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unity_physics_overlap_box gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Unity MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for unity_physics_overlap_box:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"unity_physics_overlap_box": {}
}
}unity_physics_overlap_box is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Find all colliders within a box volume. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Unity MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Unity MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unity_physics_overlap_box: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Unity MCP Server. Nothing to install.
unity_physics_overlap_box is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unity_physics_overlap_box rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for unity_physics_overlap_box. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
unity_physics_overlap_box is provided by the Unity MCP Server MCP server (anklebreaker-studio/unity-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
