WHAT IT DOES

What set_group_fold does on Livepilot

AI agents use set_group_fold 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.

RISK

Why set_group_fold is rated Medium

This is a non-destructive, reversible modification that changes the UI/project state (folding/unfolding a group track). It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or cause side effects beyond toggling a boolean property. The action can be immediately undone, making it a Write operation rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool modifies a track's visual state via 'fold or unfold' operation. The description explicitly states it shows/hides children, indicating a reversible state change to the Ableton Live project.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_group_fold Rate-limited

set_group_fold 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.
