WHAT IT DOES

What read_log does on Sbox

AI agents call read_log 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 read_log is rated Low

This tool retrieves log data from the s&box game engine without modifying, deleting, or executing code. Reading logs is a passive operation with minimal blast radius even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes existing diagnostic or runtime information.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'read_log' which indicates reading/retrieval. Description states 'Read s&box' confirming read-only operation with no modification capability.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

read_log Allowed

read_log 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": {
    "read_log": {}
  }
}

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 read_log call is checked against it from then on.
