## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_editor_context",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why get_editor_context is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves project metadata and editor state without side effects. It is a classic Read operation similar to 'get' or 'fetch' patterns. The low severity reflects that reading project state poses minimal risk—the worst outcome is information disclosure, not data loss or code execution.

From the tool's own definition: "get_editor_context reads 'compact project and editor state for references'—a pure retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability."

## Use case

AI agents call get_editor_context to retrieve information from tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_editor_context": {}
  }
}
```
