WHAT IT DOES

What install_library_package does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents invoke install_library_package 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 install_library_package is rated High

Installing packages involves executing installation operations that place files into the system, potentially introducing arbitrary code (shaders, scripts, TOX components) into the TouchDesigner environment. While it is a write-like operation, it triggers external operations whose effects depend on arguments (what package is installed), and installed packages may execute code within TouchDesigner.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

install_library_package Rate-limited

install_library_package 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.
