spawn_citizen

Spawn an animated Citizen character: a SkinnedModelRenderer with the Citizen model, plus (by default) a CitizenAnimationHelper so it idles.

WHAT IT DOES

What spawn_citizen does on Sbox

AI agents call spawn_citizen 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.

RISK

Why spawn_citizen is rated Low

Even though spawn_citizen only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

spawn_citizen Allowed

spawn_citizen is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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