add_rpc_method
Generate an RPC method stub in a C# script. Inserts the chosen RPC attribute ([Rpc.Broadcast] all clients, [Rpc.Host] host only, [Rpc.Owner] owner only) above a method with an empty body. Pass methodParams to give it a parameter list (e.g.

What add_rpc_method does on Sbox
AI agents use add_rpc_method to create or update resources in Sbox, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Sbox environment.
Why add_rpc_method is rated Medium
This tool writes/modifies C# script files by inserting RPC method stubs and attributes. It creates or modifies source code in a reversible way (code can be removed or edited). While it generates code, it doesn't execute it — it only inserts a stub with an empty body into a script file, making Write the appropriate category.
From the tool's definition Generate an RPC method stub in a C# script. Inserts the chosen RPC attribute... above a method with an empty body.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_rpc_method 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_rpc_method, this is the rule to start with:
add_rpc_method 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_rpc_method call is checked against it from then on.

Pass methodParams to give it a parameter list (e.g. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sbox MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Sbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_rpc_method: 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 Sbox. Nothing to install.
add_rpc_method is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_rpc_method 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 add_rpc_method. 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.
add_rpc_method is provided by the Sbox MCP server (sbox-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
