WHAT IT DOES

What create_python_script does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use create_python_script 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.

RISK

Why create_python_script is rated Medium

This tool creates new data artifacts (Python script DATs) within a TouchDesigner project, which is reversible (scripts can be deleted or modified). It does not execute code automatically, delete data irreversibly, or move financial assets.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create one DAT under parent_path preloaded with your Python' — the verb 'Create' and the action of generating a new Python script DAT object indicates data creation in TouchDesigner's project structure.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_python_script 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_python_script, this is the rule to start with:

create_python_script Rate-limited

create_python_script 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.
