WHAT IT DOES

What save_scene does on Sbox

AI agents use save_scene 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 save_scene is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by saving scene state. It is a Write action because it persists changes to a file that can be later modified or reverted through normal editor workflows. It is not Destructive because saving is reversible—prior versions can be recovered from version control or backups.

From the tool's definition The tool 'save_scene' persists the currently open scene in the s&box editor. The description explicitly states it 'Save[s] the currently open scene', which modifies the state of the game development project by writing data to disk.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

save_scene Rate-limited

save_scene 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.
