# create_control_panel Expose live controls on a COMP: append custom parameters (sliders, toggles, menus, RGB, pulse) and bind them to node parameters so the artist can drive a generated system in real time. Point Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `create_control_panel`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-control-panel ## Facts - Tool: `create_control_panel` - 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_control_panel", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why create_control_panel is rated Medium The tool appends custom parameters to a component and establishes bindings, which modifies the project state. This is Write rather than Execute because the modifications are structural configurations rather than imperative script execution. The changes are reversible (parameters can be removed or rebound). From the tool's own definition: "The tool creates and modifies custom parameters (sliders, toggles, menus, RGB, pulse) and binds them to node parameters on a COMP. This constitutes reversible data creation/modification of the TouchDesigner project structure." ## Use case AI agents use create_control_panel 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**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "create_control_panel": { "limits": [ { "counter": "create_control_panel_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server (333) - `delete_td_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/delete-td-node.md - `manage_checkpoint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/manage-checkpoint.md - `refresh_asset_previews` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/refresh-asset-previews.md - `repair_network` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/repair-network.md - `apply_glsl_top_mapping` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/apply-glsl-top-mapping.md - `audio_fingerprint_to_visual` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/audio-fingerprint-to-visual.md - `auto_repair_loop` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/auto-repair-loop.md - `batch_operations` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/batch-operations.md - `build_chop_chain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/build-chop-chain.md - `build_pop_chain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/build-pop-chain.md - `build_sop_geometry` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/build-sop-geometry.md - `connect_daydream_cloud` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/connect-daydream-cloud.md - `control_timeline_transport` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/control-timeline-transport.md - `create_ai_mirror` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-ai-mirror.md - `create_body_bubbles` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-body-bubbles.md - `create_cue_sequencer` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-cue-sequencer.md - `create_depth_pop_field` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-depth-pop-field.md - `create_energy_structure` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-energy-structure.md - `create_engine_comp` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-engine-comp.md - `create_gpu_particle_field` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-gpu-particle-field.md - `create_growth_system` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-growth-system.md - `create_interactive_projection_mapping` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-interactive-projection-mapping.md - `create_led_mapper` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-led-mapper.md - `create_llm_chain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-llm-chain.md - `create_panic` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-panic.md - `create_particle_flock` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-particle-flock.md - `create_phrase_locked_cue_engine` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-phrase-locked-cue-engine.md - `create_sdf_field` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-sdf-field.md - `create_set_navigator` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-set-navigator.md - `create_setlist_runner` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-setlist-runner.md - …and 303 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
