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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "clear_clip_automation",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why clear_clip_automation is rated Critical

Clearing automation envelopes permanently removes automation data from the clip. This action cannot be undone programmatically through the MCP tool, making it destructive. The blast radius is high because automation data may represent significant creative work (volume fades, filter sweeps, effect parameters) that would be lost entirely.

From the tool's own definition: "'Clear automation envelopes from a session clip' — clearing/removing automation data is irreversible"

## Use case

AI agents call clear_clip_automation to permanently remove resources in Livepilot, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Livepilot:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "clear_clip_automation"
  ]
}
```
