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

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

## Why create_sound_event is rated Medium

This tool creates new assets in the game engine, which is a reversible write operation. While it modifies the game state by adding sound event files, these files can be deleted or edited, making it Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Create a new sound event file (.sound)' — this is a create operation that generates new data files with specified properties (volume, pitch, distance falloff, looping settings)."

## Use case

AI agents use create_sound_event 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

          "scope": "grant"
        }
