WHAT IT DOES

What delete_track does on Livepilot

AI agents call delete_track 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.

RISK

Why delete_track is rated Critical

Deletion of tracks in a DAW is irreversible from the tool's perspective and can result in loss of significant creative work. Although Ableton Live provides an undo stack, the tool itself commits a destructive action that cannot be undone by the tool caller. This poses a high blast radius if an AI agent misuses the index parameter or deletes the wrong track.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_track' and description states 'Delete a track by index.' The verb 'delete' combined with permanent removal of a track from an Ableton Live project is a destructive operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_track 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 delete_track, this is the rule to start with:

delete_track Hidden

delete_track is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
