Delete a clip from a clip slot, leaving the slot empty.
AI agents call delete_clip to permanently remove resources in Ableton Mcp Lofifren — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes audio/MIDI clip data from Ableton Live. Once deleted, the clip cannot be recovered through the tool's normal operation. While the severity is 'high' rather than 'critical' because it affects individual clips rather than entire projects or financial systems, the irreversible nature of deletion and potential loss of user work justifies the Destructive category.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_clip' and description states 'Delete a clip from a clip slot, leaving the slot empty.' The verb 'delete' combined with the action of removing content irreversibly matches the destructive category definition.
