What import_isf_shader does on Aos
AI agents use import_isf_shader 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 import_isf_shader is rated Medium
Creates a new GLSL TOP node in TouchDesigner from shader source; reversible write operation.

The rule that runs import_isf_shader 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 import_isf_shader, this is the rule to start with:
import_isf_shader 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 import_isf_shader call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about import_isf_shader
Import an ISF (.fs) shader into TouchDesigner as a GLSL TOP with auto-generated controls. Accepts raw source, a local file path, or an http(s) URL. 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 import_isf_shader: 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.
import_isf_shader 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 import_isf_shader 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 import_isf_shader. 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.
import_isf_shader 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.
