What set_skybox does on Sbox
AI agents use set_skybox 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_skybox is rated Medium
This tool modifies scene state by setting the skybox, which is a reversible Write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code (Execute), delete data (Destructive), or move money (Financial). Medium severity reflects that incorrect skybox settings could break visual rendering or scene aesthetics, but changes are easily reversible and localized to graphics/environment rather than core game logic or data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_skybox' and description 'Set the scene' indicates modification of scene environment properties.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_skybox 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_skybox, this is the rule to start with:
set_skybox 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_skybox call is checked against it from then on.

set_skybox is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_skybox 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_skybox. 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.
set_skybox 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.
