WHAT IT DOES

What scaffold_recipe_from_network does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents call scaffold_recipe_from_network to retrieve information from tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why scaffold_recipe_from_network is rated Low

The description suggests this tool reads/walks an existing COMP (component) to extract or generate a recipe, which is the inverse of applying one. This is primarily a read/analysis operation. However, the description is very terse and incomplete, which lowers confidence. If it also writes or modifies the network, severity could be higher.

From the tool's definition 'Inverse of apply_recipe: walk a COMP' — implies traversal/inspection of an existing network component
