WHAT IT DOES

What networking_lint does on Sbox

AI agents call networking_lint 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 networking_lint is rated Low

Static scanning (linting) is a read-only operation that inspects source files for issues without executing code or making changes. No side effects are implied by the description.

From the tool's definition 'Static-scan the project' — a static analysis/lint operation that reads and analyzes code without modifying it

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

networking_lint Allowed

networking_lint 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": {
    "networking_lint": {}
  }
}

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 networking_lint call is checked against it from then on.
