What create_growth_system does on Aos
AI agents invoke create_growth_system 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 create_growth_system is rated High
The tool creates and executes a Script SOP node in TouchDesigner, which runs procedural/scripting logic to perform L-system grammar rewriting. This constitutes executing code/scripts inside a live visual environment. Misuse could trigger runaway computations or unintended network modifications in TouchDesigner, hence high severity.
From the tool's definition 'Build an L-system / vine-growth generator: a Script SOP iterates a context-free rewriting grammar' — this tool runs a Script SOP (a scripted operator) that executes code within TouchDesigner to generate geometry
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_growth_system 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_growth_system, this is the rule to start with:
create_growth_system stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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_growth_system call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_growth_system
Build an L-system / vine-growth generator: a Script SOP iterates a context-free rewriting grammar from. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Aos MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Aos MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_growth_system: 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_growth_system is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_growth_system 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_growth_system. 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.
create_growth_system 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.
