What create_iphone_depth_source does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents use create_iphone_depth_source 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_iphone_depth_source is rated Medium
The tool creates a structured set of TouchDesigner operators and connections (nodes like TOPs, inputs, and outputs) in a project. This is a Write operation—it modifies the project state by adding new components, but the changes are reversible (can be undone/deleted). It does not execute arbitrary code or delete irreversible data, so it is not Execute or Destructive.
From the tool's definition create_iphone_depth_source: 'Builds live/video receiver TOPs, color_out, depth_preview, OSC sensor input, sensors_out, setup hints, and an optional point-cloud placeholder'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_iphone_depth_source 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_iphone_depth_source, this is the rule to start with:
create_iphone_depth_source 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_iphone_depth_source call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_iphone_depth_source
Create a deterministic TouchDesigner scaffold for iPhone depth senders such as TDLidar, Record3D, or a generic NDI/OSC source. Builds live/video receiver TOPs, color_out, depth_preview, OSC sensor input, sensors_out, setup hints, and an optional point-cloud placeholder. This is a scaffold and returns warnings where sender-specific metric depth decoding must be validated live. 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.
Register the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_iphone_depth_source: 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.
create_iphone_depth_source is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_iphone_depth_source 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_iphone_depth_source. 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.
create_iphone_depth_source 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.
