## Tool descriptions

- `delete_td_node` — DESTRUCTIVE: permanently remove one node from the project by path (a COMP also takes its children with it); this cannot be undone via the API. Returns {deleted} with the path that was removed. Only call this when the user explicitly asks…
- `manage_checkpoint` — Store / restore / list / delete a full snapshot of a sub-network — an
- `refresh_asset_previews` — Capture fresh preview PNG assets from one or more live TOP nodes and write them to disk. Use it to regenerate stale thumbnails for library/package assets after a network changes; requires a running TouchDesigner bridge and writes image f…
- `repair_network` — Bounded, autonomous repair: scan cook errors under a subtree, classify each, and plan a safe fix, capped at max_steps so it can never run away. Defaults to dry_run (PLAN only, no changes). Set dry_run:false to apply the known-safe fixes …
- `apply_glsl_top_mapping` — Build a self-contained GLSL TOP network from a pre-translated mapping (fragment + uniforms + channels + controls). Foundation primitive used by Shadertoy and ISF importers; also reachable directly for power users with a hand-translated f…
- `audio_fingerprint_to_visual` — Sample a few seconds of audio inside TouchDesigner, compute a 4-feature fingerprint (tempo, spectral centroid, onset density, dynamic range), run a deterministic heuristic mapping to pick a matching Layer 1 generator (create_glitch / cre…
- `auto_repair_loop` — Driver: scan a subtree for cook errors, cluster them, route each cluster to the right fix (calls repair_network for structural/expression/flag issues; surfaces fix_shader / fix_reactivity as prompt hand-offs the agent must execute next t…
- `batch_operations` — Run an ordered list of create / connect / setParam operations in one call (fail-forward, per-operation warnings; not transactional). Exposes the network builder as a general primitive — distinct from set_parameters_batch, which only sets…
- `build_chop_chain` — Declarative Layer-2 builder for an ordered CHOP processing chain. Pass an
- `build_pop_chain` — Declarative Layer-2 builder for an ordered POP (Point OPerator) chain.
- `build_sop_geometry` — Declarative Layer-2 builder for an ordered SOP geometry chain. Pass an
- `connect_daydream_cloud` — Create a Daydream cloud-hosted StreamDiffusion bridge in TD.
- `control_timeline_transport` — Drive the TouchDesigner project timeline: play, pause, seek to a frame, jump to a named cue, or set playback rate. Returns the timeline state after the action so a copilot can verify the change took effect. NOTE: pausing will freeze any …
- `create_ai_mirror` — Layer 1 COMBO: wires the canonical 2026 AI-mirror installation in one MCP call — camera (or synthetic / existing TOP) → StreamDiffusion (img2img live, delegated to drive_streamdiffusion) → Syphon/Spout/NDI/internal output → a prompt+stre…
- `create_body_bubbles` — Create a MediaPipe-ready interactive bubble installation over the live camera: a detected open palm emits soap-like bubbles, body and hand landmarks act as soft colliders that can bat or lift them, a visible body contour is rendered in t…
- `create_cue_sequencer` — Build a bar-quantized cue timeline: a Beat CHOP (on the global tempo) + a CHOP Execute DAT that, on each bar (or beat) boundary, advances through an ordered list of steps and recalls — or morphs over morph_seconds — that step
- `create_depth_pop_field` — Build a depth-driven GPU POP scatter field: consumes a depth/mask TOP and uses
- `create_energy_structure` — [experimental] Build a song-structure (build / drop / breakdown) edge detector COMP with adaptive thresholds. Listens to an existing audio CHOP (audioSource) or a freshly created Audio Device In, follows a long-window envelope, and runs …
- `create_engine_comp` — Drop a TouchDesigner Engine COMP that loads an external .tox in a separate TD subprocess —
- `create_gpu_particle_field` — Build a high-count GPU particle / point field: position and velocity are simulated entirely on the GPU in two RGBA32float feedback-TOP loops (velocity integrates forces — noise/curl/gravity; position integrates velocity), then a Geometry…
- `create_growth_system` — Build an L-system / vine-growth generator: a Script SOP iterates a context-free rewriting grammar from
- `create_interactive_projection_mapping` — Build a synthetic-safe interactive projection mapping rig for a USB webcam plus projector: camera/synthetic/existing TOP input, frame-difference motion field, placeholder blob/post-it mask, cyan dot and magenta card visual TOPs, manual C…
- `create_led_mapper` — Pixel-map a source TOP onto an LED fixture layout and send per-pixel colors out as DMX over Art-Net/sACN. Resizes the source to a tiny WxH grid (one texel = one fixture pixel), samples it into per-pixel r/g/b channels with a TOP-to-CHOP,…
- `create_llm_chain` — Stand up a prompt → response LLM chain inside TouchDesigner as a self-contained baseCOMP.
- `create_panic` — Build a live-performance safety control — the
- `create_particle_flock` — Build a boids-style GPU particle flock: position and velocity are simulated entirely on the GPU in two RGBA32float feedback-TOP loops, where the velocity shader implements the three classic boids rules — separation, alignment, cohesion —…
- `create_phrase_locked_cue_engine` — Build a DJ/VJ phrase-quantized cue-lock engine. Any incoming pulse CHOP (Button, MIDI In, OSC In, composeCueList trigger) is queued FIFO and fired on the next 1/2/4/8/16/32/64-bar phrase boundary derived from the global project tempo. Li…
- `create_sdf_field` — Build a programmable signed-distance-field (SDF) raymarcher in TouchDesigner as a self-contained GLSL TOP. Compose a CSG tree of sphere / box / torus primitives with union / intersect / subtract boolean ops and optional smooth blending. …
- `create_set_navigator` — Build a hands-light stage navigator (the QLab model) for stepping through an ordered scene/cue list: Next / Prev to move the pointer, Go to fire the current scene
- `create_setlist_runner` — Layer-1 wall-clock setlist player for rehearsed VJ shows. Pass
