WHAT IT DOES

What pose_citizen does on Sbox

AI agents use pose_citizen 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 pose_citizen is rated Medium

This tool modifies the state of a game object (a Citizen character) by setting animation parameters and enabling editor scene playback. It creates or updates configuration in the game engine editor — a reversible write operation. No code execution, deletion, or financial action is involved.

From the tool's definition Pose a Citizen by setting CitizenAnimationHelper params (enables PlayAnimationsInEditorScene so the pose shows in-editor)

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

pose_citizen Rate-limited

pose_citizen 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.

How do I block pose_citizen completely? +
