WHAT IT DOES

What vault_repo_sync does on tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server

AI agents invoke vault_repo_sync 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.

RISK

Why vault_repo_sync is rated High

A git wrapper executes shell-level git commands (clone, pull, fetch, status, log, etc.). Even if read-mostly, executing git commands against a vault directory can have side effects such as network operations, credential access, or unintended writes. The 'Execute' category applies because it runs external operations.

From the tool's definition 'git wrapper' — executes git operations against a configured directory; 'Read-mostly' suggests primary use is read but git operations can include writes/fetches

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

vault_repo_sync Rate-limited

vault_repo_sync stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
