WHAT IT DOES

What create_auto_montage does on Aos

AI agents use create_auto_montage to create or update resources in Aos, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Aos environment.

RISK

Why create_auto_montage is rated Medium

This tool creates new nodes and structures within a TouchDesigner project (Movie File In TOPs, Switch TOP, Beat CHOP, Null TOP). It constructs/writes new elements into the project network. The operation is reversible (nodes can be deleted), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition 'build a self-running clip montage: scans the folder for clips/stills, builds one Movie File In TOP per file feeding a Switch TOP... and adds an auto-advance brain on top'

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

create_auto_montage Rate-limited

create_auto_montage 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.
