What create_pixel_sort does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents use create_pixel_sort 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_pixel_sort is rated Medium
This tool creates a pixel-sort effect within a TouchDesigner project, which constitutes writing/creating new nodes or network elements. It does not execute arbitrary code or irreversibly destroy data; it constructs a visual effect component, placing it in the Write category. Severity is medium because misuse could disrupt or corrupt the project's node network, but effects are likely reversible.
From the tool's definition 'Build a glitch-art pixel-sort effect that sorts pixels along rows or columns within' — creates/builds a new effect node or network in TouchDesigner
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_pixel_sort 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_pixel_sort, this is the rule to start with:
create_pixel_sort 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_pixel_sort call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_pixel_sort
Build a glitch-art pixel-sort effect that sorts pixels along rows or columns within. 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_pixel_sort: 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_pixel_sort 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_pixel_sort 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_pixel_sort. 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_pixel_sort 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.
