screenshot_from

What screenshot_from does on Sbox

AI agents call screenshot_from 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.

Why screenshot_from is rated Low

Screenshot capture is a retrieval operation with no side effects on the game engine state. It reads the current rendered view and returns image data. While game development tools are present on this server (add_* operations), this specific tool performs only observation. Severity is low because misuse cannot corrupt, delete, or execute arbitrary code — it merely returns visual snapshots.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Take a screenshot from a chosen angle' — a read-only operation that captures visual state without modification, creation, or deletion of game assets.

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

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "screenshot_from": {}
  }
}
