WHAT IT DOES

What create_depth_displacement does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use create_depth_displacement 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.

RISK

Why create_depth_displacement is rated Medium

This tool creates new 3D geometry and applies a displacement material in TouchDesigner. It creates/modifies objects in the project (subdivided grid, GLSL material, displacement setup), which is a reversible Write operation. No code execution outside of the TD environment, no data deletion, and no financial implications. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt or significantly alter a project's visual network.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_depth_displacement 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_depth_displacement, this is the rule to start with:

create_depth_displacement Rate-limited

create_depth_displacement 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_depth_displacement call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about create_depth_displacement

What does the create_depth_displacement tool do? +

Push a flat plane into real 3D relief by a depth/luminance map: a subdivided grid whose vertices are offset along Z by a GLSL displacement material sampling the source. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_depth_displacement? +

Register the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_depth_displacement: 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.

What risk level is create_depth_displacement? +

create_depth_displacement is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_depth_displacement? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_depth_displacement 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.

How do I block create_depth_displacement completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_depth_displacement. 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.

What MCP server provides create_depth_displacement? +

create_depth_displacement 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.
