AI agents call td_get_params to retrieve information from Td without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves parameter information from TouchDesigner operators without modifying state, executing code, or causing side effects. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused—worst case would be information disclosure about operator configuration.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'td_get_params' combined with server context indicates parameter retrieval from TouchDesigner operators. The 'get_' prefix and sibling tools like 'td_get_op_info' and 'td_get_screenshot' confirm this is a query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
td_get_params. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Td MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Td MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for td_get_params: 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 Td. Nothing to install.
td_get_params 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 td_get_params 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 td_get_params. 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.
td_get_params is provided by the Td MCP server (tai5863/td-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
