WHAT IT DOES

What narrate_set does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use narrate_set 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 narrate_set is rated Medium

The tool creates and stores narration records of a live performance, enabling future retrieval. This is a Write operation because it modifies state persistently but the action is reversible (narration can be updated or deleted).

From the tool's definition "Persist the running narration" — this tool writes or stores narration data to be recalled later, which is a reversible data creation/modification action.
