What create_datamosh does on Aos
AI agents use create_datamosh 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.
Why create_datamosh is rated Medium
This tool creates a visual effect network (datamosh effect) within TouchDesigner. It is a creative/generative Write operation that instantiates new nodes/operators in the project. It does not delete existing content, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because misuse could clutter or disrupt the project network, but effects are reversible.
From the tool's definition 'Build a datamosh ... visual effect network in one call' — creates a new network of nodes in TouchDesigner
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_datamosh 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_datamosh, this is the rule to start with:
create_datamosh 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Aos, apply this rule, and every create_datamosh call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Aos MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_datamosh: 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.
create_datamosh is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_datamosh 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 create_datamosh. 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.
