Render a canonical OpenPose-colored stick figure TOP (per-limb RGB lines + per-joint colored discs on a black background, default 512×512) from an existing pose CHOP produced by create_pose_tracking. The render is GPU-rasterized in a single GLSL TOP that samples the pose CHOP via a CHOP-to-TOP. O...

What create_pose_controlnet_driver does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents use create_pose_controlnet_driver 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_pose_controlnet_driver is rated Medium
This tool creates new nodes/operators in TouchDesigner (a GLSL TOP, CHOP-to-TOP conversion, optional sender wiring) and produces a rendered output image. It is primarily a Write/create operation — it builds and wires components in the TD network. It does not delete anything, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions.
From the tool's definition 'Render a canonical OpenPose-colored stick figure TOP... from an existing pose CHOP', 'Optionally auto-wires the output to a Syphon/Spout or NDI sender', 'this tool produces the driver conditioning image that ControlNet consumes'
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_pose_controlnet_driver 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_pose_controlnet_driver, this is the rule to start with:
create_pose_controlnet_driver 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_pose_controlnet_driver call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_pose_controlnet_driver
Render a canonical OpenPose-colored stick figure TOP (per-limb RGB lines + per-joint colored discs on a black background, default 512×512) from an existing pose CHOP produced by create_pose_tracking. The render is GPU-rasterized in a single GLSL TOP that samples the pose CHOP via a CHOP-to-TOP. Optionally auto-wires the output to a Syphon/Spout or NDI sender for a downstream Stable Diffusion / ComfyUI / StreamDiffusion ControlNet node. No model inference — this tool produces the driver conditioning image that ControlNet consumes. 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_pose_controlnet_driver: 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_pose_controlnet_driver 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_pose_controlnet_driver 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_pose_controlnet_driver. 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_pose_controlnet_driver 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.
