WHAT IT DOES

What make_portable_tox does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use make_portable_tox 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 make_portable_tox is rated Medium

This tool creates and modifies files on the local filesystem (writing .tox packages, manifests, and documentation files). While it can overwrite existing files, it is reversible—files can be restored, edited, or deleted afterward. This qualifies it as Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it will 'Save...on disk', 'write a tdmcp-component manifest beside it', 'copy docs/README files', and 'writes/overwrites local files in out_dir'. The term 'overwrites' confirms potential data modification.
