create_blob_reactive
Build a blob-position-tracking chain that drives parameters from the POSITIONS of multiple objects/hands in a camera (or a TOP) — the per-blob counterpart to create_motion_reactive

What create_blob_reactive does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents use create_blob_reactive 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 create_blob_reactive is rated Medium
This tool creates (builds) a new node chain/network in TouchDesigner that tracks blob positions and drives parameters. It is a creative/constructive operation that adds new nodes and connections to the project, making it a Write operation. Misuse could clutter or corrupt a TouchDesigner project but is generally reversible by deleting the created nodes.
From the tool's definition 'Build a blob-position-tracking chain that drives parameters' — creates a new processing chain/network in TouchDesigner
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_blob_reactive 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 create_blob_reactive, this is the rule to start with:
create_blob_reactive 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 create_blob_reactive call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_blob_reactive
Build a blob-position-tracking chain that drives parameters from the POSITIONS of multiple objects/hands in a camera (or a TOP) — the per-blob counterpart to create_motion_reactive. 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 create_blob_reactive: 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.
create_blob_reactive 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 create_blob_reactive 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 create_blob_reactive. 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.
create_blob_reactive 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.
