List every parameter on an operator with current value and style.
AI agents call list_parameters 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 is a pure query operation that retrieves and inspects parameter metadata from an existing operator. It has no capability to modify state, execute code, or trigger external effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only gain information about the TouchDesigner instance's current parameter configuration, which poses no destructive risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_parameters' and description 'List every parameter on an operator with current value and style' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. Returns current state of parameters without modifying, creating, or deleting anything.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List every parameter on an operator with current value and style. 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 list_parameters: 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.
list_parameters 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 list_parameters 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 list_parameters. 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.
list_parameters 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.
