WHAT IT DOES

What get_browser_items does on Livepilot

AI agents call get_browser_items 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.

RISK

Why get_browser_items is rated Low

The naming convention 'get_*' combined with 'browser_items' indicates this tool queries or retrieves data from Ableton Live's browser without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. No side effects are expected. Low severity because it only exposes existing data about available items/libraries. Confidence is moderate (0.7) due to empty description, but the read-only semantics are clear from the name alone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_browser_items' suggests retrieval of items from Ableton Live's browser (library/samples/plugins). The 'get_' prefix indicates a read operation. Description is empty, which limits certainty.
