## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "create_node_chain",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why create_node_chain is rated Medium

This tool creates new nodes and wires them together in a TouchDesigner network. It is a Write operation (reversible creation of new objects). It does not delete or overwrite existing data, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because misuse could clutter or corrupt a project network, though changes are typically reversible by deleting the created nodes.

From the tool's own definition: "'Create multiple nodes and (optionally) connect them in sequence' — creates new nodes and connections in the TouchDesigner project"

## Use case

AI agents use create_node_chain 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Aos:

```json

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_node_chain": {
