create_strange_attractor
Build a strange-attractor deferred geometry generator: a Script CHOP integrates a chosen ODE system (Lorenz / Aizawa / Halvorsen) with configurable sub-steps and maintains a rolling ring buffer of trail_length points. A Script SOP converts the channels into one open polyline; an optional Tube SOP...

What create_strange_attractor does on Aos
AI agents use create_strange_attractor 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_strange_attractor is rated Medium
This tool creates and wires together a network of TouchDesigner nodes (CHOPs, SOPs, COMPs, TOPs) — a reversible write/creation operation that builds new visual pipeline structures. It does not delete existing data, execute arbitrary shell commands, or involve financial transactions. The primary action is constructing/generating new nodes and connections within the TD project, which is a Write-category action.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_strange_attractor 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_strange_attractor, this is the rule to start with:
create_strange_attractor 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_strange_attractor call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_strange_attractor
Build a strange-attractor deferred geometry generator: a Script CHOP integrates a chosen ODE system (Lorenz / Aizawa / Halvorsen) with configurable sub-steps and maintains a rolling ring buffer of trail_length points. A Script SOP converts the channels into one open polyline; an optional Tube SOP thickens it for shaded render inside a Geometry COMP + Camera + Light + Render TOP pipeline. Closing Roadmap Milestone 4. Complements create_growth_system (L-systems) and create_particle_flock (boids) as the deterministic CPU-geometry idiom. With TD timeline paused the integrator pauses too (time-dependent) — resume playback to continue. Returns a summary plus a JSON block with the container path, output path, exposed controls, errors, warnings, and an inline preview. 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_strange_attractor: 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_strange_attractor 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_strange_attractor 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_strange_attractor. 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_strange_attractor 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.
