What lint_recipe_library does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
AI agents call lint_recipe_library 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.

The rule that runs lint_recipe_library 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 lint_recipe_library, this is the rule to start with:
lint_recipe_library 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 lint_recipe_library call is checked against it from then on.
