WHAT IT DOES

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.

RISK

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

RECOMMENDED RULE

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 Rate-limited

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.
