Return the help() output for a TD Python name.
AI agents call get_module_help to retrieve information from Touchdesigner without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns help documentation for TouchDesigner Python names. It performs no side effects, does not create, modify, or delete data, and does not execute arbitrary code. The sibling tools `eval_python` and `exec_python` handle code execution; this tool is purely informational/read-only, making it a clear Read category risk with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Return the help() output for a TD Python name' - this is a read-only query operation that retrieves documentation/help information without modifying any state or executing arbitrary code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return the help() output for a TD Python name. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Touchdesigner MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Touchdesigner MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_module_help: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Touchdesigner. Nothing to install.
get_module_help is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_module_help rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_module_help. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_module_help is provided by the Touchdesigner MCP server (mrinalghosh/touchdesigner-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
