## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run_macro_script",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why run_macro_script is rated High

This tool runs/executes macro scripts rather than simply reading or writing data. Script execution falls under the Execute category because it triggers code that can have unpredictable side effects depending on the script contents. The incomplete description limits confidence slightly, but the 'run_macro_script' name is sufficiently explicit about executing code.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'run_macro_script' and description 'Replay a' indicate execution of macro scripts in TouchDesigner. Macro scripts in TouchDesigner are code-execution mechanisms that can trigger arbitrary operations within the visual system."

## Use case

AI agents invoke run_macro_script to trigger actions in tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## 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": {

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
