implement-core-tools

A development task that adds connection guidance, reusable network templates, and better search to a TouchDesigner MCP Server. TouchDesigner is a visual tool where operators are connected to build graphics and interactive systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve operator connection patterns, generate templates for video, generative art, audio, data visualization, or live performance, and improve operator and workflow search results.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand which operators can connect, start from complete examples, and find search results with clearer filters and limits.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 14 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 290 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

implement-core-tools scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Implement Core Tool Enhancements for the TouchDesigner MCP Server at /home/robert/Documents/TD-MCP/touchdesigner-mcp-server. Tasks: (1) Create tools/get_operator_connections.js — returns what operators typically connect to/from a named operator (inputs, outputs, common chains). (2) Create tools/get_network_template.js — returns full network templates for use cases: video-player, generative-art, audio-reactive, data-visualization, live-performance. Each template includes operator list, connections, parameter settings, and Python scripts. (3) Enhance tools/search_operators.js: add 'type' enum filter (exact/fuzzy/tag), 'limit' param (default 20, max 50), return totalResults count in response. (4) Enhance tools/suggest_workflow.js: add connection port instructions (A output→B input), complexity rating (simple/medium/complex), estimated node count, minimum TD version requirement. (5) Create enriched wiki/data/processed/ files for: feedback_top.json, render_top.json, geo_comp.json, camera_comp.json with full parameters, tips, examples, and Python code. (6) Register 2 new tools in index.js. (7) Append to CHANGELOG.md. Verify with node --check.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

implement-core-tools is an agent published in the GitHub repository bottobot/touchdesigner-mcp-server (76 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 290 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
