WHAT IT DOES

What batch_reparent does on Sbox

AI agents use batch_reparent 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 batch_reparent is rated Medium

Modifies scene hierarchy reversibly; bulk reparenting could confuse game structure but is undoable.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

batch_reparent Rate-limited

batch_reparent 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.
