What create_shader_park does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents invoke create_shader_park 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.
Why create_shader_park is rated High
Compiles and executes JavaScript code, instantiating live GPU shaders in TouchDesigner.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_shader_park 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_shader_park, this is the rule to start with:
create_shader_park 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server, apply this rule, and every create_shader_park call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_shader_park
Compile Shader Park JavaScript sculpture code with shader-park-core and instantiate it as a self-contained TouchDesigner GLSL MAT scene with live controls. Caller source requires TDMCP_RAW_PYTHON=on and TDMCP_BRIDGE_ALLOW_EXEC=1. Use the companion shader-park:tox script when you specifically want the official Shader Park .tox plugin workflow. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_shader_park: 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_shader_park is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_shader_park 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_shader_park. 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_shader_park 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.
