WHAT IT DOES

What remove_simpler_slice does on Livepilot

AI agents call remove_simpler_slice to permanently remove resources in Livepilot, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why remove_simpler_slice is rated Critical

The tool removes (irreversibly deletes) a slice from a Simpler instrument at a specific sample-frame position. This is a destructive action as removing a slice cannot be trivially undone programmatically, though Ableton's undo history may allow manual recovery. Blast radius is medium as it affects a single slice within a single instrument device.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs remove_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 remove_simpler_slice, this is the rule to start with:

remove_simpler_slice Hidden

remove_simpler_slice is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
