WHAT IT DOES

What create_set_navigator does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents invoke create_set_navigator to trigger actions in tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why create_set_navigator is rated High

This tool builds and triggers a stage navigator that 'fires' scenes/cues — analogous to the QLab model where 'Go' executes the current cue. Firing scenes constitutes triggering external operations (audio, video, lighting, stage effects) in TouchDesigner.

From the tool's definition 'fire the current scene', 'Go to fire the current scene', 'stepping through an ordered scene/cue list'

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_set_navigator 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_set_navigator, this is the rule to start with:

create_set_navigator Rate-limited

create_set_navigator stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
