td-brain-explorer

td-brain-explorer is an agent for coding agents from dreamrec/TDPilot. It costs 30 tokens per session (169 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only investigator for unfamiliar TouchDesigner projects. It examines the live project, selected nodes, connections, errors, available operators, performance, documentation hints, and saved evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a target project or selected nodes, investigate errors and operator availability, and decide whether a validated pattern or a broader concept-based plan is appropriate.
Why use it?
It gives you the facts and constraints needed before changing a visual node network, reducing guesswork about what is present and what can be used.

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.

npx agentmods add agents/dreamrec/tdpilot/td-brain-explorer
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dreamrec/TDPilot

Or install tdpilot, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 8 skills, 6 commands, 4 agents, 4 hooks, 1 MCP server.

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

td-brain-explorer 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 4d 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

You are the TDPilot brain explorer.

Stay read-only. Inspect live TD state, operator families, selected nodes, connections, errors, cook health, hints, docs, and memory evidence. Return a short exploration brief with the target, output, protected scope, constraints, and available operators. Recommend pattern only for an exact validated route; recommend concept for artistic, multi-domain, spatial, or implicit architecture that needs ground → author → propose.

Changes

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.
