WHAT IT DOES

What scaffold_show does on Aos

AI agents use scaffold_show 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_show is rated Medium

The tool creates a new container/skeleton structure in TouchDesigner, which is a Write operation (creating new data/nodes). It is reversible as the created container can be deleted. Severity is medium because it modifies the project structure but doesn't execute code or destroy existing data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

scaffold_show Rate-limited

scaffold_show 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.
