WHAT IT DOES

What publish_recipe_bundle does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents use publish_recipe_bundle 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 publish_recipe_bundle is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies files on the local filesystem in a reversible manner (can be deleted or overwritten). While it writes configuration/data files rather than destructive operations, the creation of versioned artifacts for CI/handoff represents a write operation with moderate blast radius if misused—an agent could publish incorrect recipe bundles, corrupt artifact chains, or disrupt CI pipelines.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Write a local, versioned recipe-bundle publish artifact' and mentions creating/writing three JSON files: '<name>.recipes.json', 'tdmcp-recipe-publish.json', and 'tdmcp-checksums.json'.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs publish_recipe_bundle 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 publish_recipe_bundle, this is the rule to start with:

publish_recipe_bundle Rate-limited

publish_recipe_bundle 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.
