WHAT IT DOES

What set_project_config does on Sbox

AI agents use set_project_config 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 set_project_config is rated Medium

The tool updates project metadata (title, description, version, type, package identifier, summary, visibility) which are reversible changes to configuration. This is a Write operation rather than Execute because it does not trigger code execution or external operations — it only sets configuration state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_project_config' and description states 'Update project configuration fields' — this modifies metadata reversibly without deleting or executing external code.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_project_config Rate-limited

set_project_config 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.

policy.json

    "set_project_config": {
      "limits": [

          "counter": "set_project_config_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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

How do I enforce a policy on set_project_config? +

Register the Sbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_project_config: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Sbox. Nothing to install.

What risk level is set_project_config? +

set_project_config is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit set_project_config? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_project_config rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block set_project_config completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_project_config. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides set_project_config? +

set_project_config is provided by the Sbox MCP server (sbox-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
