RISK

Why sandbox_files_write is rated Medium

The tool creates or modifies data (files) in a sandbox context. The 'sandbox' qualifier suggests the operation is confined to a sandboxed environment, limiting blast radius to that scope rather than system-wide files. This is reversible (files can be overwritten or deleted by other means), so it is Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'sandbox_files_write' and description states 'write' operation. The tool is explicitly described as writing files in a sandbox environment.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sandbox_files_write safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Appaloft, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For sandbox_files_write, this is the rule to start with:

sandbox_files_write Rate-limited

sandbox_files_write stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
