Build a strange-attractor deferred geometry generator: a Script CHOP integrates a chosen ODE system (Lorenz / Aizawa / Halvorsen) with configurable sub-steps and maintains a rolling ring buffer of trail_length points.

What create_strange_attractor does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents use create_strange_attractor 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.
Why create_strange_attractor is rated Medium
This tool creates and wires together a network of TouchDesigner nodes (CHOPs, SOPs, COMPs, TOPs) — a reversible write/creation operation that builds new visual pipeline structures. It does not delete existing data, execute arbitrary shell commands, or involve financial transactions. The primary action is constructing/generating new nodes and connections within the TD project, which is a Write-category action.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_strange_attractor 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_strange_attractor, this is the rule to start with:
create_strange_attractor 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server, apply this rule, and every create_strange_attractor call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_strange_attractor
Build a strange-attractor deferred geometry generator: a Script CHOP integrates a chosen ODE system (Lorenz / Aizawa / Halvorsen) with configurable sub-steps and maintains a rolling ring buffer of trail_length points. A Script SOP converts the channels into one open polyline; an optional Tube SOP thickens it for shaded render inside a Geometry COMP + Camera + Light + Render TOP pipeline. Closing Roadmap Milestone 4. Complements create_growth_system (L-systems) and create_particle_flock (boids) as the deterministic CPU-geometry idiom. With TD timeline paused the integrator pauses too (time-dependent) — resume playback to continue. Returns a summary plus a JSON block with the container path, output path, exposed controls, errors, warnings, and an inline preview. It is categorised as a Write tool in the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_strange_attractor: 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_strange_attractor is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_strange_attractor 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_strange_attractor. 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_strange_attractor 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.
