WHAT IT DOES

What scaffold_genre does on Aos

AI agents use scaffold_genre 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 scaffold_genre is rated Medium

This tool creates new data structures (a starting network) in TouchDesigner, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or trigger external financial/destructive operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'Create a genre-flavored starting network' — the verb 'Create' explicitly describes data creation. The tool generates a new network structure (a TouchDesigner component) under a specified parent path.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

scaffold_genre Rate-limited

scaffold_genre 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.

What risk level is scaffold_genre? +

scaffold_genre is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit scaffold_genre? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the scaffold_genre 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.

How do I block scaffold_genre completely? +
