## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "align_objects",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Sbox:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "align_objects": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "align_objects_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
