## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "fl_cut_pattern",
    "arguments": {}

## Why fl_cut_pattern is rated Medium

Cutting a pattern to clipboard is a reversible write operation—the pattern data is preserved in clipboard memory and can be pasted back or recovered. While it modifies the current working state (removes pattern from current location), it does not permanently delete data or execute arbitrary code. This is a standard, non-destructive DAW editing operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'fl_cut_pattern' and description 'Cut the current pattern to clipboard' indicate a reversible modification operation that copies pattern data to clipboard storage, analogous to standard cut/copy operations in DAW software."

## Use case

AI agents use fl_cut_pattern to create or update resources in FL Studio MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your FL Studio MCP Server environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
