WHAT IT DOES

What grid_duplicate does on Sbox

AI agents use grid_duplicate 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.

RISK

Why grid_duplicate is rated Medium

Creates multiple game objects with reversible duplication; side effects are game-specific and potentially recoverable.

From the tool's definition Clone a GameObject into a grid; mutate immediately and keep result.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

grid_duplicate Rate-limited

grid_duplicate 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.

    }

}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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

FAQ

Questions about grid_duplicate

What does the grid_duplicate tool do? +

Clone a GameObject into an X/Y/Z grid. Existing calls mutate immediately and keep the legacy result. Use dryRun:true to preview exact capped transforms and receive a planId; commit_placement_plan then clones atomically and rejects the commit if the source transform or parent changed after preview. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sbox MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on grid_duplicate? +

Register the Sbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for grid_duplicate: 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.

What risk level is grid_duplicate? +

grid_duplicate is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit grid_duplicate? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the grid_duplicate 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.

How do I block grid_duplicate completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for grid_duplicate. 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.

What MCP server provides grid_duplicate? +

grid_duplicate 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.
