WHAT IT DOES

What create_keyframe_animation does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use create_keyframe_animation 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_keyframe_animation is rated Medium

This tool creates and modifies animation keyframes in a TouchDesigner project. While animations are reversible (keyframes can be deleted or modified later), the tool irreversibly commits animation data to the project timeline. The blast radius is medium because misuse could create unwanted animations affecting visual output and project state, but changes remain reversible unlike Destructive operations.

From the tool's definition create_keyframe_animation creates keyframed curves and animations that persist in the TouchDesigner project, modifying the state of parameters over time.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_keyframe_animation 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_keyframe_animation, this is the rule to start with:

create_keyframe_animation Rate-limited

create_keyframe_animation 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.

What does the create_keyframe_animation tool do? +

Animate parameters along a keyframed curve synced to the timeline — structured motion beyond animate_parameter. 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_keyframe_animation? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit create_keyframe_animation? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_keyframe_animation 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_keyframe_animation completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_keyframe_animation. 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_keyframe_animation? +

create_keyframe_animation 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.
