WHAT IT DOES

What set_scene_name does on Livepilot

AI agents use set_scene_name 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_scene_name is rated Medium

This tool modifies metadata (scene name) in Ableton Live without irreversible destruction, code execution, or financial impact. Renaming is a standard Write operation. Severity is low because scene naming has no direct impact on audio output, project integrity, or external systems; the change is easily undone by renaming again.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Rename a scene' — a modification operation. The ability to 'pass empty string to clear the name' confirms reversible data mutation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_scene_name Rate-limited

set_scene_name 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 set_scene_name call is checked against it from then on.
