# apply_automation_shape A write tool on the Livepilot MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `apply_automation_shape`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/apply-automation-shape ## Facts - Tool: `apply_automation_shape` - Server: Livepilot (`livepilot`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot.md - Install: `npx -y livepilot` - Homepage: https://github.com/dreamrec/LivePilot - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "apply_automation_shape", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why apply_automation_shape is rated Medium The tool appears to modify automation curves/shapes in Ableton Live, which is a reversible data modification operation typical of Write category. Without an explicit description, confidence is reduced. It does not execute arbitrary code (Execute), delete data (Destructive), or move money (Financial). The context of music production tools and sibling operations suggests automation adjustments rather than side effects. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'apply_automation_shape' suggests modifying automation parameters in Ableton Live. Sibling tools like 'add_warp_marker', 'add_notes', and 'add_rack_macro' all perform Write operations (creating or modifying reversible track/arrangement state)." ## Use case AI agents use apply_automation_shape to create or update resources in Livepilot, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Livepilot environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
