What create_point_cloud does on Aos
AI agents use create_point_cloud 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_point_cloud is rated Medium
This tool creates and configures a visual component (point cloud) within the TouchDesigner project. It generates and writes new nodes/data into the project network, which is a reversible write operation — nodes can be removed later. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_point_cloud 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_point_cloud, this is the rule to start with:
create_point_cloud 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_point_cloud call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_point_cloud
Render a point cloud from a depth/luminance map (or a synthetic source): scatter a resolution×resolution grid of points and push each point. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Aos MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Aos MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_point_cloud: 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_point_cloud 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_point_cloud 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_point_cloud. 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_point_cloud 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.
