RECOMMENDED RULE

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

search_td_code Allowed

search_td_code is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
