What get_compile_errors does on Sbox
AI agents call get_compile_errors to retrieve information from Sbox without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_compile_errors is rated Low
This tool only retrieves diagnostic information from existing log files. It has no side effects, cannot modify game state, and poses minimal security risk. The purpose is purely informational—helping Claude verify whether code compilation succeeded by examining pre-existing logs.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Scan[s] the recent s&box log for compile errors' and 'Reads sbox-dev.log directly'. These are read-only operations that retrieve and filter log data without modifying anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_compile_errors 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 get_compile_errors, this is the rule to start with:
get_compile_errors is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 get_compile_errors call is checked against it from then on.

Reads sbox-dev.log directly (works even if the editor is mid-crash). Filters out the noisy. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sbox MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_compile_errors: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Sbox. Nothing to install.
get_compile_errors is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_compile_errors rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_compile_errors. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_compile_errors is provided by the Sbox MCP server (sbox-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
