create_projection_mapping
Wrap a source TOP in a Corner Pin warp for projection mapping: drag the four corner handles to line the image up with a physical surface (wall, object, screen). The source comes in through a Select TOP so it can live anywhere; output is a Null ready for setup_output. The corner positions are para...

What create_projection_mapping does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents use create_projection_mapping 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_projection_mapping is rated Medium
This tool creates new operators (Corner Pin, Select TOP, Null) and modifies their parameters reversibly. While it affects the visual system state, these changes can be undone via standard undo operations and do not irreversibly delete data or execute arbitrary code. The parameter-driven corner positions allow flexible adjustment without destructive side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool creates and modifies a Corner Pin operator with parameters (corner positions) that can be 'driven or saved', establishing persistent state in the TouchDesigner project.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_projection_mapping 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_projection_mapping, this is the rule to start with:
create_projection_mapping 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_projection_mapping call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_projection_mapping
Wrap a source TOP in a Corner Pin warp for projection mapping: drag the four corner handles to line the image up with a physical surface (wall, object, screen). The source comes in through a Select TOP so it can live anywhere; output is a Null ready for setup_output. The corner positions are parameters, so you can also drive or save them. 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_projection_mapping: 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_projection_mapping 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_projection_mapping 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_projection_mapping. 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_projection_mapping 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.
