# create_capture_loop Build a bidirectional inter-app video bridge to another program (Resolume, OBS, MadMapper, a game engine…) in one container: receive an external feed IN and publish a TOP OUT at the same time. Picks the right operators per protocol — NDI (network, macOS & Windows), or Syphon (macOS) / Spout (Windows). direction Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `create_capture_loop`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-capture-loop ## Facts - Tool: `create_capture_loop` - Server: tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server (`@dpantani/tdmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp.md - Install: `npx -y @dpantani/tdmcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/Pantani/tdmcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "create_capture_loop", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why create_capture_loop is rated Medium This tool creates a new container and sets up video capture/output bridges in TouchDesigner. It creates and configures operators (network nodes), which is a reversible write/create action. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. The blast radius is medium as misconfiguration could disrupt live video pipelines in connected applications. From the tool's own definition: "Build a bidirectional inter-app video bridge... receive an external feed IN and publish a TOP OUT at the same time. Picks the right operators per protocol — NDI, Syphon, Spout" ## Use case AI agents use create_capture_loop 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
