Why fl_trigger_script needs a policy

This tool runs code or triggers operations in FL Studio whose effects depend on previously queued arguments (the 'pending note requests'). While it doesn't directly execute arbitrary code, it executes deferred instructions in a real-time audio system, making it Execute rather than Write.

From the tool's definition fl_trigger_script manually triggers FL Studio to 'process pending note requests,' which executes deferred operations.

POLICY

How to control fl_trigger_script

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_trigger_script:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fl_trigger_script": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "fl_trigger_script_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

fl_trigger_script stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register FL Studio MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
