What export_clip_midi does on Livepilot
AI agents use export_clip_midi 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 export_clip_midi is rated Medium
The tool exports data (a clip's MIDI notes) to a newly created .mid file. This is a Write operation because it creates a new file with data. The operation is reversible (the file can be deleted), has minimal blast radius (only creates a local file without modifying Ableton Live state), and poses no destructive, financial, or execute-level risks.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'export_clip_midi' and description 'Export a session clip's notes to a .mid file' indicate file creation/writing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs export_clip_midi 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 export_clip_midi, this is the rule to start with:
export_clip_midi 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 export_clip_midi call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Livepilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_clip_midi: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Livepilot. Nothing to install.
export_clip_midi is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_clip_midi rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_clip_midi. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
