## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "create_pbr_scene",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why create_pbr_scene is rated Medium

This tool creates and configures visual system components (Geometry COMP, PBR MAT, Environment Light) within a TouchDesigner project. These are reversible modifications to the project structure, not destructive deletions. While it modifies the project state, the effects can be undone within TouchDesigner.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it will 'Build a physically-based 3D scene' by creating 'a Geometry COMP holding the chosen primitive' and 'shaded by a PBR MAT' and 'lit by an Environment Light'."

## Use case

AI agents use create_pbr_scene 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server:
