WHAT IT DOES

What add_terrain_clearing does on Sbox

AI agents use add_terrain_clearing 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.

RISK

Why add_terrain_clearing is rated Medium

This tool modifies game world state by altering terrain geometry within a specified radius. It is reversible (the clearing can be removed or adjusted), making it Write rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because misuse could degrade map quality or create unplayable areas, but the effects are contained to a localized game asset and are not permanent or irreversible.

From the tool's definition The tool 'add_terrain_clearing' modifies map terrain by creating a flat clearing zone that adjusts height values ("lerps height toward base inside radius"). This is a creation/modification operation on game map data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_terrain_clearing 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_terrain_clearing, this is the rule to start with:

add_terrain_clearing Rate-limited

add_terrain_clearing 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.
