WHAT IT DOES

What raycast does on Sbox

AI agents use raycast 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 raycast is rated Medium

An AI agent can call raycast faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Sbox by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

raycast Rate-limited

raycast 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.

FAQ

Questions about raycast

What does the raycast tool do? +

Perform a physics raycast (Scene.Trace.Ray) and return hit results. Useful for line-of-sight checks, object placement, and collision detection. 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 raycast? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit raycast? +

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

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

raycast 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.
