WHAT IT DOES

What create_sidechain_pump does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents invoke create_sidechain_pump 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_sidechain_pump is rated High

The tool appears to create and connect multiple TouchDesigner operators to set up a sidechain pump effect in one call. This spans Write (creating nodes) and Execute (triggering live visual/audio system changes). Since it operates on a live visual system and the description is nearly empty ('EXPERIMENTAL — One-call' is all we have), confidence is lowered.

From the tool's definition 'EXPERIMENTAL — One-call' and the name 'create_sidechain_pump' suggest triggering an audio-reactive sidechain pumping effect in TouchDesigner, creating nodes/operators and wiring them together

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_sidechain_pump 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_sidechain_pump, this is the rule to start with:

create_sidechain_pump Rate-limited

create_sidechain_pump 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_sidechain_pump call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about create_sidechain_pump

What does the create_sidechain_pump tool do? +

EXPERIMENTAL — One-call. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_sidechain_pump? +

Register the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_sidechain_pump: 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.

What risk level is create_sidechain_pump? +

create_sidechain_pump is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit create_sidechain_pump? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_sidechain_pump 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.

How do I block create_sidechain_pump completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_sidechain_pump. 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.

What MCP server provides create_sidechain_pump? +

create_sidechain_pump 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.
