# get_compile_errors

Scan the recent s&box log for compile errors and exceptions — the fast way for Claude to confirm whether its last script/addon edit actually compiled. Reads sbox-dev.log directly (works even if the editor is mid-crash). Filters out the noisy

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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Sbox:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_compile_errors": {}
  }
}
```
