WHAT IT DOES

What group_objects does on Sbox

AI agents use group_objects 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 group_objects is rated Medium

This tool creates a new game object and modifies the parent-child relationships of existing objects, which is a reversible write operation (the grouping can be undone, objects can be reparented). It does not delete, execute arbitrary code, query data, or involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Parent a set of GameObjects under a new empty group object' — creates a new object and modifies the hierarchy structure of existing objects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

group_objects Rate-limited

group_objects 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.

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

FAQ

Questions about group_objects

What does the group_objects tool do? +

Parent a set of GameObjects under a new empty group object (placed at their centroid) — tidies the hierarchy and lets you move/rotate them together. 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 group_objects? +

Register the Sbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for group_objects: 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 group_objects? +

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

Can I rate-limit group_objects? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the group_objects 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 group_objects completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for group_objects. 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 group_objects? +

group_objects 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.
