Why fl_set_channel_name needs a policy

This tool modifies project data (channel names) in a non-destructive, reversible manner. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or trigger financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—renaming channels does not corrupt audio, lose data, or cause unrecoverable harm. This is a straightforward Write operation with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'fl_set_channel_name' and description 'Set the name of a channel' indicate a modification operation. The action creates or modifies metadata (channel naming) within FL Studio, which is reversible—the name can be changed again or reverted.

POLICY

How to control fl_set_channel_name

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and FL Studio MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for fl_set_channel_name:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fl_set_channel_name": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "fl_set_channel_name_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

fl_set_channel_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.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
