randomize_transforms
Add natural variation to existing objects: random yaw and/or random uniform scale within a range. Great for breaking up repetition in placed foliage/rocks/crates. Seeded.

What randomize_transforms does on Sbox
AI agents use randomize_transforms 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.
Why randomize_transforms is rated Medium
This tool modifies existing objects by randomizing their transforms (rotation and scale). It is a reversible modification to game scene data, making it a Write operation. The blast radius is medium since it could affect many objects if misused, but changes are not inherently irreversible.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs randomize_transforms 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 randomize_transforms, this is the rule to start with:
randomize_transforms 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 randomize_transforms call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about randomize_transforms
Add natural variation to existing objects: random yaw and/or random uniform scale within a range. Great for breaking up repetition in placed foliage/rocks/crates. Seeded. 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.
Register the Sbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for randomize_transforms: 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.
randomize_transforms is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the randomize_transforms 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for randomize_transforms. 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.
randomize_transforms 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.
