WHAT IT DOES

What connect_nodes does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use connect_nodes 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 connect_nodes is rated Medium

Connecting/wiring nodes creates a new connection between existing nodes in the TouchDesigner network. This is a reversible modification (connections can be unwired), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could disrupt signal flow in a live visual system, hence medium severity. Confidence is slightly reduced due to the sparse description.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs connect_nodes safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For connect_nodes, this is the rule to start with:

connect_nodes Rate-limited

connect_nodes 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.
