What create_depth_from_2d does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use create_depth_from_2d 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_depth_from_2d is rated Medium

This tool creates new nodes/containers in a TouchDesigner project (drops TOX, wires source, exposes output), which constitutes a reversible write/create operation within the project graph. It does not delete existing data, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium as it modifies the project structure and requires specific GPU hardware.

From the tool's definition drops the TOX into a fresh container, wires the source, exposes a depth Null TOP whose path can be fed directly into create_depth_displacement

Questions about create_depth_from_2d

What does the create_depth_from_2d tool do? +

Wraps TDDepthAnything v2 (community TOX by IntentDev) to convert any 2D image/video TOP into a depth map TOP using Depth Anything v2 via NVIDIA TensorRT/ONNX — no Kinect or RealSense required. Given a source TOP path, drops the TOX into a fresh container, wires the source, exposes a depth Null TOP whose path can be fed directly into create_depth_displacement, create_depth_pop_field, or create_depth_silhouette. Requires the user to have installed TDDepthAnything.tox from https://github.com/IntentDev/TDDepthAnything and an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA + TensorRT pre-built weights (.engine/.onnx). NOT supported on macOS. First cook may take 30–60 s for engine compile. Returns container_path, dropped_tox_path, depth_top_path (the key output), source_top_path, output_resolution, model_variant, and warnings. 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_from_2d? +

Register the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_depth_from_2d: 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_from_2d? +

create_depth_from_2d is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_depth_from_2d? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_depth_from_2d 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_from_2d completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_depth_from_2d. 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_from_2d? +

create_depth_from_2d 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.
