What create_panic does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents invoke create_panic to trigger actions in tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why create_panic is rated High
The tool name 'create_panic' and context of 'live-performance safety control' suggests it creates/triggers a panic/kill-switch mechanism in a live TouchDesigner performance environment. This likely executes an emergency control action (e.g., muting outputs, resetting nodes, triggering a blackout) with potentially broad effects on a live system. The description is truncated, lowering confidence.

The rule that runs create_panic 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_panic, this is the rule to start with:
create_panic stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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_panic call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_panic
Build a live-performance safety control — the. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_panic: 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_panic is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_panic 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_panic. 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_panic 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.
