WHAT IT DOES

What copilot_vision does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents call copilot_vision to retrieve information from tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why copilot_vision is rated Low

The tool captures/reads a visual output (TOP frame) and queries a language model about it. This is fundamentally a read/query operation with no write, execute, or destructive side effects. Severity is medium because it involves sending potentially sensitive visual content from a TouchDesigner project to an external LLM, which carries a data-exfiltration risk.

From the tool's definition Capture a TOP as a preview image and ask the configured multimodal LLM a question about it
