What get_td_node_parameters does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents call get_td_node_parameters 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.
Why get_td_node_parameters is rated Low
This tool performs only data retrieval operations on TouchDesigner project nodes. It has no side effects, does not modify parameters or project state, and returns informational content about node configuration. It is purely observational and fits the Read category definition of retrieving or querying data with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Read-only: read the current parameters (and inputs/outputs) of one node.' It retrieves node metadata and returns structured data without modifying state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_td_node_parameters 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 get_td_node_parameters, this is the rule to start with:
get_td_node_parameters is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 get_td_node_parameters call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_td_node_parameters
Read-only: read the current parameters (and inputs/outputs) of one node. Returns {path, type, name, parameters, inputs, outputs}. Pass. It is categorised as a Read tool in the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_td_node_parameters: 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.
get_td_node_parameters is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_td_node_parameters 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 get_td_node_parameters. 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.
get_td_node_parameters 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.
