What move_simpler_slice does on Livepilot
AI agents use move_simpler_slice 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 move_simpler_slice is rated Medium
This tool modifies audio sampler state by repositioning slice markers, which is a Write operation (reversible configuration change). It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or affect external systems (Financial).
From the tool's definition Tool name 'move_simpler_slice' and description 'Move an existing slice from one sample-frame position to another' indicate modification of sampler configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs move_simpler_slice 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 move_simpler_slice, this is the rule to start with:
move_simpler_slice 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 move_simpler_slice call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about move_simpler_slice
Move an existing slice from one sample-frame position to another (Live 11+). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Livepilot MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Livepilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for move_simpler_slice: 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.
move_simpler_slice 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 move_simpler_slice 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 move_simpler_slice. 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.
move_simpler_slice is provided by the Livepilot MCP server (livepilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
