WHAT IT DOES

What arrange_network does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use arrange_network to create or update resources in tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server environment.

RISK

Why arrange_network is rated Medium

The tool repositions (moves) network components, which constitutes modification of project data. This is a Write operation because: (1) it alters the project state, (2) the changes are reversible (components can be repositioned again), and (3) it does not delete data or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Tidy an existing network: reposition a COMP' — this modifies the visual layout/position of components within a TouchDesigner project, which is a reversible change to project state.
