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
Tool only validates and reports project state without modifying or executing code.
From the tool's definition Validate project readiness, runs checks, returns results.
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.
Questions about validate_project
Validate that the project is ready for publishing. Runs four checks: .sbproj exists, at least one scene, project Ident set, project Title set. Returns { valid, issueCount, issues, checks } — issues are human-readable problems and each checks entry has { check, pass, detail }; fix metadata gaps with set_project_config (it does NOT check compile errors — use get_compile_errors for that). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sbox MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for validate_project: 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.
validate_project is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the validate_project 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 validate_project. 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.
validate_project 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.
