WHAT IT DOES

What install_library_package does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use install_library_package 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 install_library_package is rated Medium

The tool installs packages by copying/extracting files into project directories, which is a reversible modification operation (files can be removed or replaced). It does not delete data irreversibly, execute arbitrary code, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool performs file operations that modify a TouchDesigner project: 'Install a local tdmcp component package folder, .zip, .tox, or manifest', 'This copies or extracts files', 'refuses replacement unless overwrite=true'.

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 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.

This copies or extracts files, refuses replacement unless overwrite=true, rejects symlinked directory trees, and returns scope plus resolved paths.
