WHAT IT DOES

What sandbox_ports_expose does on Appaloft

AI agents invoke sandbox_ports_expose to trigger actions in Appaloft. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required
`port`	integer	Yes
`expiresAt`	string	—
`sandboxId`	string	Yes
`visibility`	string	—

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why sandbox_ports_expose is rated High

sandbox_ports_expose triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sandbox_ports_expose 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_ports_expose, this is the rule to start with:

sandbox_ports_expose Rate-limited

sandbox_ports_expose stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
