What create_preview_set does on Livepilot
AI agents use create_preview_set 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.
Why create_preview_set is rated Medium
The tool name 'create' denotes a Write operation (reversible creation of data). In Ableton Live, creating a preview set would generate a new project or configuration file that could be modified or deleted later. Severity is medium because misuse could create unwanted projects or consume resources, but the operation itself is reversible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_preview_set' indicates creation of a preview set in Ableton Live context. The verb 'create' combined with context of sibling tools (add_arrangement_notes, add_notes, add_rack_macro, add_session_memory) suggests reversible data creation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_preview_set safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Livepilot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_preview_set, this is the rule to start with:
create_preview_set stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Livepilot, apply this rule, and every create_preview_set call is checked against it from then on.
