What validate_project does on Sbox
AI agents call validate_project 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.
Why validate_project is rated Low
This tool retrieves and analyzes project properties to report on readiness for publishing. It reads metadata, scans for errors, and verifies assets—all read-only operations with no side effects, state changes, or external execution. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed; only analyzed and reported.
From the tool's definition The tool "validate_project" performs checks on project state including compile errors, metadata, scenes, scripts, thumbnail, and project type.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs validate_project 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 validate_project, this is the rule to start with:
validate_project is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 validate_project call is checked against it from then on.
