WHAT IT DOES

What create_clip_launcher does on Aos

AI agents use create_clip_launcher 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_clip_launcher is rated Medium

This tool creates a new UI component (Container COMP with clip buttons) in TouchDesigner, which is a reversible write/create operation. While it can trigger cues during live performance, the tool itself is about building and instantiating the launcher panel, not executing destructive or financial operations.

From the tool's definition Build an Ableton-style clip launcher: a grid panel (Container COMP) of clip buttons... for fast hands-on scene switching during a live set

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

create_clip_launcher Rate-limited

create_clip_launcher 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.

FAQ

Questions about create_clip_launcher

What does the create_clip_launcher tool do? +

Build an Ableton-style clip launcher: a grid panel (Container COMP) of clip buttons, one per named cue (from manage_cue), for fast hands-on scene switching during a live set. Open the container in Perform/Panel mode and tap a clip to fire its cue — instantly, or (with morph_time) crossfading to it over N seconds (eased, the same engine manage_cue uses). Store the cues with manage_cue / create_control_panel first. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Aos MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_clip_launcher? +

Register the Aos MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_clip_launcher: 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 Aos. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_clip_launcher? +

create_clip_launcher is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_clip_launcher? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_clip_launcher 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.

How do I block create_clip_launcher completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_clip_launcher. 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.

What MCP server provides create_clip_launcher? +

create_clip_launcher is provided by the Aos MCP server (@hybridlabor-api/aos). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
