What clear_forest_pois does on Sbox
AI agents call clear_forest_pois to permanently remove resources in Sbox, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why clear_forest_pois is rated Critical
The tool performs bulk deletion of forest points-of-interest, trails, and placed objects. While limited to forest-related assets in a game scene (reducing blast radius vs. system-wide deletion), the operation is irreversible and destroys user-created game content. This satisfies the Destructive category definition: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone'.
From the tool's definition 'Wipe all POIs and trails' and 'clear placed forest objects from the scene' indicate irreversible deletion of game world data without restoration capability.

The rule that runs clear_forest_pois safely

clear_forest_pois is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
