WHAT IT DOES

What create_envelope_follower does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use create_envelope_follower 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_envelope_follower is rated Medium

This tool constructs a new processing chain within TouchDesigner (envelope follower with attack/release and gating), which is a reversible write/create operation. It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because misuse could disrupt a live visual system's signal routing, but changes are recoverable.

From the tool's definition 'Build a reactive signal-shaping chain (attack/release envelope + threshold gate or sidechain ducking) from a CHOP channel' — creates new nodes/operators in the TouchDesigner network

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_envelope_follower 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_envelope_follower, this is the rule to start with:

create_envelope_follower Rate-limited

create_envelope_follower 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.

Questions about create_envelope_follower

What does the create_envelope_follower tool do? +

EXPERIMENTAL — Build a reactive signal-shaping chain (attack/release envelope + threshold gate or sidechain ducking) from a CHOP channel, for. 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_envelope_follower? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit create_envelope_follower? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_envelope_follower 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_envelope_follower completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_envelope_follower. 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_envelope_follower? +

create_envelope_follower 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.
