WHAT IT DOES

What align_objects does on Sbox

AI agents use align_objects 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 align_objects is rated Medium

Aligning GameObjects changes their spatial properties in the game world, constituting a write operation. The effect is reversible (objects can be realigned), so it does not qualify as Destructive. The action is triggered directly without requiring code execution, distinguishing it from Execute.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'align[s] several GameObjects on one axis so they share a coordinate' with configurable mode. This modifies object properties (position coordinates) reversibly within the game engine.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

align_objects Rate-limited

align_objects 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.

FAQ

Questions about align_objects

What does the align_objects tool do? +

Align several GameObjects on one axis so they share a coordinate. mode = first (match the first object), min, max, or average. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on align_objects? +

Register the Sbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for align_objects: 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.

What risk level is align_objects? +

align_objects is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit align_objects? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the align_objects 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.

How do I block align_objects completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for align_objects. 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.

What MCP server provides align_objects? +

align_objects 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.
