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

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

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

## Why fl_load_file is rated Low

The tool loads/opens files for reading purposes in FL Studio, which is a read operation with no side effects on data integrity or system state. While it retrieves and displays file contents, it does not create, modify, delete, execute arbitrary code, or move money. The low severity reflects that file loading in a music DAW is a routine, safe operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'fl_load_file' and description 'Open a preset (.fst), project (.flp), score (.fsc), or audio sample file in FL Studio' indicate file retrieval and loading operations without modification or deletion of existing data."

## Use case

AI agents call fl_load_file to retrieve information from FL Studio MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches FL Studio MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fl_load_file": {}
  }
}
