TOX is a proprietary component file format developed and maintained by Derivative for use within the TouchDesigner visual development platform. These files encapsulate specific network operator chains, including data, scripts, and interface elements, allowing developers to share and reuse modular logic across different projects. While generally considered safe for media production, TOX files can contain executable Python scripts; users should verify the integrity of components obtained from third-party sources to ensure secure execution.
