From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Generate a Component.IPressable interactable' — the verb 'Generate' combined with 'Create' in the tool name indicates creation of a new game component/object. The tool adds a pressable interactive element to the game world.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_interactable 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_interactable, this is the rule to start with:
create_interactable 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sbox, apply this rule, and every create_interactable call is checked against it from then on.
