What create_pose_reactive does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents use create_pose_reactive 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_reactive is rated Medium
This tool creates new nodes and data-processing chains inside a TouchDesigner network (a fresh baseCOMP with multiple operator chains merged into a null_out). It is a Write operation — it constructs and wires up new components/operators in the project, but does not irreversibly destroy data, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions.
From the tool's definition create_pose_reactive ... take the 33-sample MediaPipe pose CHOP ... derive scalar reactive channels ... on a Null CHOP ready for bind_to_channel. Each channel is a Select→Math→Hold→Filter→Limit→Rename chain inside a fresh baseCOMP, all merged into one null_out
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_pose_reactive 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_reactive, this is the rule to start with:
create_pose_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_pose_reactive call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_pose_reactive
Body-pose binder parallel to bind_audio_reactive: take the 33-sample MediaPipe pose CHOP produced by setup_body_tracking and derive scalar reactive channels (right-hand height, arms openness, elbow angle, hand velocity, …) on a Null CHOP ready for bind_to_channel. Each channel is a Select→Math→Hold→Filter→Limit→Rename chain inside a fresh baseCOMP, all merged into one null_out. Supported metrics: y/x/z (1 landmark), distance/openness (2 landmarks), angle (3 — vertex middle), velocity (1, time-derivative). Optional. 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_reactive: 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_reactive 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_reactive 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_reactive. 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_reactive 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.
