What create_preset_morph does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents use create_preset_morph 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_preset_morph is rated Medium
This tool creates presets/snapshots of operator states in TouchDesigner, which is a write operation that stores configuration data. While snapshots are reversible (can be deleted or overwritten), the tool's primary function is to create and persist new data artifacts. It does not execute arbitrary code or trigger external operations unpredictably, so Execute does not apply.
From the tool's definition The tool 'create_preset_morph' targets snapshot creation and state capture of operators (OPs) in TouchDesigner. The description indicates it snapshots 'any OP', which represents creating or recording parameter states—a reversible write operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_preset_morph 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_preset_morph, this is the rule to start with:
create_preset_morph 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_preset_morph call is checked against it from then on.
