What create_panic does on Aos
AI agents invoke create_panic 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_panic is rated High
The tool name 'create_panic' and context of 'live-performance safety control' suggests it creates/triggers a panic/kill-switch mechanism in a live TouchDesigner performance environment. This likely executes an emergency control action (e.g., muting outputs, resetting nodes, triggering a blackout) with potentially broad effects on a live system. The description is truncated, lowering confidence.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_panic 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_panic, this is the rule to start with:
create_panic 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_panic call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_panic
Build a live-performance safety control — the. 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_panic: 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_panic 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_panic 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_panic. 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_panic 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.
