What sync_presets_vault does on Aos
AI agents use sync_presets_vault 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 sync_presets_vault is rated Medium
Syncing presets likely creates, updates, or modifies preset data in a vault—a reversible write operation. The incomplete description ('Bridge a COMP') provides limited detail, reducing confidence slightly. This is classified as Write rather than Execute because syncing is primarily a data modification action, not arbitrary code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sync_presets_vault' and context of TouchDesigner MCP server that 'build real visual systems.' The verb 'sync' suggests bidirectional data synchronization with a presets vault, which modifies stored presets or project state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sync_presets_vault 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 sync_presets_vault, this is the rule to start with:
sync_presets_vault 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 sync_presets_vault call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about sync_presets_vault
Bridge a COMP. 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 sync_presets_vault: 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.
sync_presets_vault 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 sync_presets_vault 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 sync_presets_vault. 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.
sync_presets_vault 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.
