WHAT IT DOES

What probe_link_audio does on Livepilot

AI agents call probe_link_audio 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 probe_link_audio is rated Low

This tool performs passive inspection/querying of Ableton Live's Link Audio state without modifying, executing commands, or triggering side effects. The 'read-only' designation and 'probe' verb confirm it retrieves information only. Severity is low because reconnaissance of audio interface state poses minimal risk to the session or system.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read-only probe' for querying Link Audio MCP controllability status.
