This is a reversible write/create operation — it adds nodes to the project but does not irreversibly delete or overwrite existing data. The description is truncated, lowering confidence slightly, but the 'create_' prefix and context strongly indicate a Write action.

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_pointer_reactive, this is the rule to start with:
create_pointer_reactive 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_pointer_reactive call is checked against it from then on.
