Why roblox_playtest needs a policy

This tool starts, stops, or otherwise controls running playtest sessions in Roblox Studio, which constitutes executing and interacting with a live game environment. The effects depend on the actions taken (e.g., starting/stopping sessions, sending inputs to the running game). This is categorized as Execute rather than Write because it triggers external operations (game execution) rather than simply modifying data.

From the tool's definition 'Control Roblox Studio playtest sessions and interact with the running game' — triggers and controls live game execution sessions in Roblox Studio

POLICY

How to control roblox_playtest

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Roblox Studio MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for roblox_playtest:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "roblox_playtest": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "roblox_playtest_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

roblox_playtest 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.

Create a free account and register Roblox Studio MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
