# set_dat_content Overwrite a Text or Table DAT Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `set_dat_content`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/set-dat-content ## Facts - Tool: `set_dat_content` - Server: tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server (`@dpantani/tdmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp.md - Install: `npx -y @dpantani/tdmcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/Pantani/tdmcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "set_dat_content", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why set_dat_content is rated Medium This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by replacing the contents of data objects (DATs) in TouchDesigner. While 'overwrite' sounds severe, it is not irreversible in the context of a design tool with undo/redo capabilities. However, the blast radius is high because an AI agent given incorrect parameters could silently corrupt important data structures, break project dependencies, or lose unsaved work. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Overwrite a Text or Table DAT' — this modifies existing data structures within a TouchDesigner project." ## Use case AI agents use set_dat_content 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. ## 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": { "set_dat_content": { "limits": [ { "counter": "set_dat_content_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server (333) - `delete_td_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/delete-td-node.md - `manage_checkpoint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/manage-checkpoint.md - `refresh_asset_previews` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/refresh-asset-previews.md - `repair_network` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/repair-network.md - `apply_glsl_top_mapping` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/apply-glsl-top-mapping.md - `audio_fingerprint_to_visual` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/audio-fingerprint-to-visual.md - `auto_repair_loop` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/auto-repair-loop.md - `batch_operations` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/batch-operations.md - `build_chop_chain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/build-chop-chain.md - `build_pop_chain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/build-pop-chain.md - `build_sop_geometry` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/build-sop-geometry.md - `connect_daydream_cloud` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/connect-daydream-cloud.md - `control_timeline_transport` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/control-timeline-transport.md - `create_ai_mirror` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-ai-mirror.md - `create_body_bubbles` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-body-bubbles.md - `create_cue_sequencer` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-cue-sequencer.md - `create_depth_pop_field` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-depth-pop-field.md - `create_energy_structure` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-energy-structure.md - `create_engine_comp` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-engine-comp.md - `create_gpu_particle_field` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-gpu-particle-field.md - `create_growth_system` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-growth-system.md - `create_interactive_projection_mapping` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-interactive-projection-mapping.md - `create_led_mapper` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-led-mapper.md - `create_llm_chain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-llm-chain.md - `create_panic` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-panic.md - `create_particle_flock` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-particle-flock.md - `create_phrase_locked_cue_engine` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-phrase-locked-cue-engine.md - `create_sdf_field` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-sdf-field.md - `create_set_navigator` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-set-navigator.md - `create_setlist_runner` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp/create-setlist-runner.md - …and 303 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-pantani-tdmcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
