Why probe_stem_workflow is rated Low
This tool retrieves or queries information about stem workflow capabilities in Ableton Live 12.4 without creating, modifying, deleting, executing, or committing any side effects. The "read-only" qualifier confirms it performs no destructive or write operations. Blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose workflow metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Read-only probe" and "selected-time stem workflow support" — it queries the state of Live 12.4 without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs probe_stem_workflow safely

probe_stem_workflow is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 probe_stem_workflow call is checked against it from then on.
