Why load_sample_to_simpler is rated Medium
The name implies a write operation — loading a sample file into a Simpler device, which modifies the state of that instrument. No description is provided, which lowers confidence. Based on naming conventions in the Ableton MCP context and sibling tools (add_*, load_*), this is most likely a reversible write/configuration action.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'load_sample_to_simpler' suggests loading/writing a sample into Ableton's Simpler instrument device.
