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

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

## Why create_shared_memory_bridge is rated Medium

This tool creates shared memory bridge objects (nodes/operators) in TouchDesigner to enable inter-process communication. It is a Write operation because it creates new data pathways/nodes. The severity is medium because misconfiguration could expose shared memory to unintended processes or disrupt IPC with connected applications, but it doesn't directly execute arbitrary code or destroy data.

From the tool's own definition: "Create a Shared Memory In/Out TOP/CHOP for zero-copy IPC with another app"

## Use case

AI agents use create_shared_memory_bridge 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)
