WHAT IT DOES

What get_project_config does on Sbox

AI agents call get_project_config 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.

RISK

Why get_project_config is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves project metadata from a configuration file (.sbproj). It performs no side effects, creates no resources, executes no code, and modifies nothing. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent reading config data cannot cause damage to the game project or system. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_' prefix and description states 'Read the full project configuration' — explicitly a read operation that retrieves configuration data without modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

get_project_config Allowed

get_project_config is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_project_config": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sbox, apply this rule, and every get_project_config call is checked against it from then on.
