WHAT IT DOES

What create_vector_lines does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use create_vector_lines 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.

RISK

Why create_vector_lines is rated Medium

This tool performs reversible data creation and modification within a visual design system. It generates vector geometry, snapshots, and composite outputs, but these are non-destructive and can be regenerated or undone (typical of visual design tools). It does not irreversibly delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary external code (Execute), or modify financial systems.

From the tool's definition Tool creates and modifies data structures in TouchDesigner: 'trace1', 'frozen_frame', and composite outputs are created/updated when the 'Vectorize pulse' is triggered.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_vector_lines 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_vector_lines, this is the rule to start with:

create_vector_lines Rate-limited

create_vector_lines 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_vector_lines call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about create_vector_lines

What does the create_vector_lines tool do? +

Build a pulse-driven image-to-vector-lines system: capture a still frame from a synthetic, camera, file, or existing TOP source, prepare a monochrome mask, freeze it to a snapshot, trace it through a Trace SOP for editable vector geometry, generate a clean TOP line-art overlay, and composite it over the source. Phase 1 is intentionally not realtime: the artist presses the Vectorize pulse to update trace1/frozen_frame, keeping cook cost bounded. Source defaults to a static synthetic contour card so it previews without camera permissions or moving noise; camera is opt-in. Exposes Vectorize, Threshold, PreBlur, StepSize, Smooth/Fit/Border toggles, line color/width, opacity, overlay mode, and calibration knobs. Returns the container, source/prep/frozen/trace/vector/output paths, warnings for unverified Trace/snapshot details, and a 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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_vector_lines? +

Register the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_vector_lines: 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_vector_lines? +

create_vector_lines is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_vector_lines? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_vector_lines 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_vector_lines completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_vector_lines. 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_vector_lines? +

create_vector_lines 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.
