build_pop_chain

What build_pop_chain does on Aos

AI agents invoke build_pop_chain to trigger actions in Aos. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why build_pop_chain is rated High

This tool executes a series of computational operations on 3D geometry in TouchDesigner's visual pipeline. While it does not delete data or move money, it triggers real-time processing and rendering effects that are non-trivial to undo and depend entirely on user-provided arguments. Misconfiguration could cause resource exhaustion, unintended visual artifacts, or cascading effects in a live visual system.

From the tool's definition 'build_pop_chain' is a declarative builder for an ordered POP (Point OPerator) chain in TouchDesigner. POPs are operators that process geometry/point data and trigger external operations (rendering, computation, simulation).

The rule that runs build_pop_chain safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Aos, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For build_pop_chain, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "build_pop_chain": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "build_pop_chain_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
