# log_performance READ a snapshot of a TD network (node/connection counts plus any errors) and, optionally, a preview image of an output TOP, then WRITE a dated journal entry to Performances/-.md in the vault (the thumbnail is saved as a binary attachment). Use this to build a diary of your shows over time. Returns the note path, whether a thumbnail was saved, and the node/issue counts. Requires a configured TDMCP_VAULT_PATH. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `log_performance`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/log-performance ## Facts - Tool: `log_performance` - Server: tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server (`@dpantani/tdmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp.md - Install: `npx -y @dpantani/tdmcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/Pantani/tdmcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "log_performance", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why log_performance is rated Medium The tool reads network snapshot data and optionally captures a preview image, but its primary side effect is writing a persistent markdown journal entry and binary thumbnail to the vault filesystem. While it also reads data, the most severe action is the Write (file creation). It is not Destructive (no deletion), not Execute (no code execution), and not Financial. From the tool's own definition: "WRITE a dated journal entry to Performances/<date>-<title>.md in the vault (the thumbnail is saved as a binary attachment)" ## Use case AI agents use log_performance 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. 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": { "log_performance": { "limits": [ { "counter": "log_performance_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server (333) - `delete_td_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/delete-td-node.md - `manage_checkpoint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/manage-checkpoint.md - `refresh_asset_previews` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/refresh-asset-previews.md - `repair_network` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/repair-network.md - `apply_glsl_top_mapping` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/apply-glsl-top-mapping.md - `audio_fingerprint_to_visual` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/audio-fingerprint-to-visual.md - `auto_repair_loop` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/auto-repair-loop.md - `batch_operations` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/batch-operations.md - `build_chop_chain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/build-chop-chain.md - `build_pop_chain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/build-pop-chain.md - `build_sop_geometry` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/build-sop-geometry.md - `connect_daydream_cloud` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/connect-daydream-cloud.md - `control_timeline_transport` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/control-timeline-transport.md - `create_ai_mirror` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-ai-mirror.md - `create_body_bubbles` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-body-bubbles.md - `create_cue_sequencer` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-cue-sequencer.md - `create_depth_pop_field` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-depth-pop-field.md - `create_energy_structure` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-energy-structure.md - `create_engine_comp` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-engine-comp.md - `create_gpu_particle_field` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-gpu-particle-field.md - `create_growth_system` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-growth-system.md - `create_interactive_projection_mapping` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-interactive-projection-mapping.md - `create_led_mapper` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-led-mapper.md - `create_llm_chain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-llm-chain.md - `create_panic` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-panic.md - `create_particle_flock` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-particle-flock.md - `create_phrase_locked_cue_engine` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-phrase-locked-cue-engine.md - `create_sdf_field` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-sdf-field.md - `create_set_navigator` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-set-navigator.md - `create_setlist_runner` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-setlist-runner.md - …and 303 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
