What connect_oscquery_namespace does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents use connect_oscquery_namespace 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.
Why connect_oscquery_namespace is rated Medium
The tool creates new network communication infrastructure (OSCQuery HTTP namespace, OSC send/receive scaffold, action maps) within TouchDesigner. This is a reversible write/create operation — it sets up new components and connections but does not delete existing data, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions. Misuse could expose network endpoints unintentionally, hence medium severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs connect_oscquery_namespace 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_oscquery_namespace, this is the rule to start with:
connect_oscquery_namespace 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 tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server, apply this rule, and every connect_oscquery_namespace call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about connect_oscquery_namespace
Create an OSCQuery HTTP namespace and OSC send/receive scaffold with action maps for live-control apps. It is categorised as a Write tool in the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for connect_oscquery_namespace: 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 tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server. Nothing to install.
connect_oscquery_namespace 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 connect_oscquery_namespace 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 connect_oscquery_namespace. 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.
connect_oscquery_namespace is provided by the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server (@dpantani/tdmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
