Why add_forest_trail is rated Medium
This tool creates new data structures (trail gaps) in the game engine's forest generator system. It is reversible (trails can be removed or modified), so it qualifies as Write rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because misuse could create unintended level geometry, but this is scoped to game design artifacts rather than system-level damage.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_forest_trail' and description 'Add a trail gap between two POIs' indicate creation of new game world elements.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_forest_trail safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sbox, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_forest_trail, this is the rule to start with:
add_forest_trail 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sbox, apply this rule, and every add_forest_trail call is checked against it from then on.
