What undo does on Sbox
AI agents use undo 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 undo is rated Medium
While the tool is described as a 'safety net,' it reverses write operations (like the sibling tools that add objects and components) but does not permanently delete or destroy data. Undo is a reversible modification operation, making it Write rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'undo' and description 'Undo the last editor action' indicates it reverses/modifies the state of game editor operations rather than irreversibly destroying data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs undo 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 undo, this is the rule to start with:
undo 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 undo call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about undo
Undo the last editor action. Safety net for when a change goes wrong. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sbox MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Sbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for undo: 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.
undo 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 undo 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 undo. 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.
undo 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.
