What create_phone_remote does on Aos
AI agents use create_phone_remote 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_phone_remote is rated Medium
The tool creates a new web server endpoint and panel within TouchDesigner, which is a reversible write/create operation. It sets up infrastructure (a Web Server DAT) and a UI panel, but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because exposing a web server could open network attack surface if misused.
