WHAT IT DOES

What create_day_night_clock does on Sbox

AI agents use create_day_night_clock 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 create_day_night_clock is rated Medium

This tool creates and modifies game state by instantiating a clock system that tracks time and triggers events. While it doesn't delete data or execute arbitrary code, it does create new game objects and configure their properties to drive side effects throughout the game world. This is a Write operation—data creation and modification with reversible effects.

From the tool's definition Tool creates and generates a time-of-day clock system with state management (TimeOfDay 0-24, Day advancing, IsDay/IsNight flags, events). The description uses 'Generate' and 'Create', indicating object/system creation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

create_day_night_clock Rate-limited

create_day_night_clock 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.
