What set_forest_seed does on Sbox
AI agents use set_forest_seed 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.
Why set_forest_seed is rated Medium
This tool modifies the seed value of a forest generator and triggers regeneration, which changes the game world state. While reversible (can be re-rolled again), it constitutes a Write operation as it creates/modifies environmental data structures.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Set ForestGenerator.Seed and regenerate', indicating modification of generator state and triggering procedural regeneration of forest layouts.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_forest_seed 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 set_forest_seed, this is the rule to start with:
set_forest_seed 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sbox, apply this rule, and every set_forest_seed call is checked against it from then on.
