WHAT IT DOES

What remove_component does on Sbox

AI agents call remove_component to permanently remove resources in Sbox, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why remove_component is rated Critical

Removing a component from a GameObject is a destructive operation: the component and its configuration are deleted. While the game object itself remains, the component data is lost and cannot be recovered without re-adding and reconfiguring it. The description is partially truncated but the tool name clearly indicates deletion.

From the tool's definition remove_component — removes a component from a GameObject; this is an irreversible deletion of a component by type name

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

remove_component Hidden

remove_component is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sbox, apply this rule, and every remove_component call is checked against it from then on.
