WHAT IT DOES

What set_track_pan does on Livepilot

AI agents use set_track_pan 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_track_pan is rated Medium

This tool modifies track properties (pan position) in Ableton Live but does not execute code, delete data, or create financial obligations. The change is reversible—panning can be adjusted again to any other value. While it affects audio output, the modification is non-destructive and localized to a single track parameter.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Set a track's panning', using the verb 'Set' which indicates modification of track parameters. The parameter range (-1.0 to 1.0) shows it modifies an existing audio property.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_track_pan Rate-limited

set_track_pan 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.
