WHAT IT DOES

What export_palette_component does on Aos

AI agents use export_palette_component 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.

RISK

Why export_palette_component is rated Medium

This is a Write operation because it creates/exports a new file (reversible via deletion). It does not execute arbitrary code on the system, merely serializes a TouchDesigner component to a standard file format.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'export_palette_component' and description 'Save a COMP as a .tox into TouchDesigner' indicate the tool creates/persists a file artifact (.tox format) from a component.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs export_palette_component 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 export_palette_component, this is the rule to start with:

export_palette_component Rate-limited

export_palette_component 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.

          "counter": "export_palette_component_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Aos, apply this rule, and every export_palette_component call is checked against it from then on.
