WHAT IT DOES

What create_text_crawl does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents invoke create_text_crawl 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_text_crawl is rated High

This tool constructs and activates an animated, self-contained component (baseCOMP) in a live TouchDesigner project. It goes beyond a simple write/create because it triggers dynamic execution of animation logic (crawl, ticker, typewriter effects). The effects are reversible (the component can be deleted), so it doesn't rise to Destructive, but it does execute live visual/animation systems, placing it in Execute.

From the tool's definition 'Build a multi-line animated text crawl / ticker / credits roll / typewriter reveal inside a self-contained baseCOMP' — creates and runs animated components in TouchDesigner

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_text_crawl 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_text_crawl, this is the rule to start with:

create_text_crawl Rate-limited

create_text_crawl 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.
