WHAT IT DOES

What create_video_scopes does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use create_video_scopes 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_video_scopes is rated Medium

This tool creates and constructs new nodes/operators within a TouchDesigner project (waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope panels, cameras, Render TOPs, layoutTOP). It is a Write operation — it builds/creates network components reversibly. There is no irreversible deletion, financial action, or arbitrary code execution; it is constructing a visual monitoring system from existing building blocks.

From the tool's definition Build a broadcast-style video engineering monitor... Each panel renders as a CHOP-to-SOP scope line through an orthographic camera and Render TOP, composited into a single output TOP via layoutTOP.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_video_scopes 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_video_scopes, this is the rule to start with:

create_video_scopes Rate-limited

create_video_scopes 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.

FAQ

Questions about create_video_scopes

What does the create_video_scopes tool do? +

Build a broadcast-style video engineering monitor with multiple scope panels: waveform (luma trace), RGB parade (per-channel traces), and vectorscope (UV chrominance scatter). Each panel renders as a CHOP-to-SOP scope line through an orthographic camera and Render TOP, composited into a single output TOP via layoutTOP. Companion to create_waveform (audio) and create_spectrum (audio frequency). Default source is a synthetic test pattern (no device permission needed);. 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_video_scopes? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit create_video_scopes? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_video_scopes 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_video_scopes completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_video_scopes. 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_video_scopes? +

create_video_scopes 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.
