What set_track_name does on Livepilot
AI agents use set_track_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.
Why set_track_name is rated Medium
Renaming a track is a reversible write operation that modifies project metadata without destroying data or executing external code. The change is persistent but easily undone by renaming again. This falls squarely in the Write category with low severity since it causes no data loss and has minimal impact on a music production workflow.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Rename a track' and 'The new name appears in both the Session and Arrangement views and survives session save.' This is a metadata modification that persists across saves.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_track_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_track_name, this is the rule to start with:
set_track_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_track_name call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about set_track_name
Rename a track. The new name appears in both the Session and Arrangement views and survives session save. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Livepilot MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Livepilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_track_name: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Livepilot. Nothing to install.
set_track_name is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_track_name rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_track_name. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
set_track_name is provided by the Livepilot MCP server (livepilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
