# create_scene_timeline Build a scrubbable show timeline: a single Timer-CHOP playhead drives ordered scenes that recall cues on a target COMP. Sits above create_cue_sequencer (beat-quantized) and create_scheduler (event-firing) as the show Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `create_scene_timeline`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-scene-timeline ## Facts - Tool: `create_scene_timeline` - Server: tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server (`@dpantani/tdmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp.md - Install: `npx -y @dpantani/tdmcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/Pantani/tdmcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "create_scene_timeline", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why create_scene_timeline is rated Medium This tool creates/builds a new timeline construct in TouchDesigner (a Timer-CHOP playhead, ordered scenes, cue recalls). It is a Write operation as it constructs new nodes and structures in the project. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because misconfiguration could disrupt a live show or performance system, but it is reversible. From the tool's own definition: "'Build a scrubbable show timeline' and 'drives ordered scenes that recall cues on a target COMP' — creates a timeline structure with a Timer-CHOP playhead and scene ordering" ## Use case AI agents use create_scene_timeline 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
