# get_appointed_device Return the Blue Hand (appointed/focused) device location as (track_index, device_index, track_name, device_name). Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_appointed_device`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/get-appointed-device ## Facts - Tool: `get_appointed_device` - Server: Livepilot (`livepilot`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot.md - Install: `npx -y livepilot` - Homepage: https://github.com/dreamrec/LivePilot - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_appointed_device", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_appointed_device is rated Low This tool only retrieves information about the currently-focused device's location and name. It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval call with no side effects, fitting the 'Read' category. The low severity reflects that exposing this query poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_appointed_device' with verb 'get'; description states 'Return the Blue Hand (appointed/focused) device location' — a pure query operation that retrieves the current state of which device has focus in Ableton Live." ## Use case AI agents call get_appointed_device to retrieve information from Livepilot without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Livepilot: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_appointed_device": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Livepilot (473) - `clear_clip_automation` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/clear-clip-automation.md - `clear_simpler_slices` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/clear-simpler-slices.md - `corpus_remove_source` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/corpus-remove-source.md - `delete_clip` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/delete-clip.md - `delete_device` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/delete-device.md - `delete_rack_variation` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/delete-rack-variation.md - `delete_scene` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/delete-scene.md - `delete_track` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/delete-track.md - `discard_experiment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/discard-experiment.md - `discard_preview_set` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/discard-preview-set.md - `discard_wonder_session` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/discard-wonder-session.md - `flatten_track` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/flatten-track.md - `force_arrangement` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/force-arrangement.md - `memory_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/memory-delete.md - `remove_arrangement_notes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/remove-arrangement-notes.md - `remove_arrangement_notes_by_id` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/remove-arrangement-notes-by-id.md - `remove_notes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/remove-notes.md - `remove_notes_by_id` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/remove-notes-by-id.md - `remove_rack_macro` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/remove-rack-macro.md - `remove_simpler_slice` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/remove-simpler-slice.md - `remove_warp_marker` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/remove-warp-marker.md - `splice_remove_from_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/splice-remove-from-collection.md - `apply_automation_recipe` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/apply-automation-recipe.md - `back_to_arranger` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/back-to-arranger.md - `build_project_brain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/build-project-brain.md - `build_reference_profile` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/build-reference-profile.md - `build_song_brain` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/build-song-brain.md - `capture_stop` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/capture-stop.md - `compile_goal_vector` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/compile-goal-vector.md - `continue_playback` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot/continue-playback.md - …and 443 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dreamrec-livepilot.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
