Preview the current Live set state. Use when an agent needs a lightweight result check; mode
AI agents call render_preview to retrieve information from Ableton Mind without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool is described as a 'preview' and 'lightweight result check', indicating it reads/queries the current state without modifying it. No side effects are implied.

Register the Ableton Mind MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for render_preview: 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 Ableton Mind. Nothing to install.
render_preview is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the render_preview 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 render_preview. 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.
render_preview is provided by the Ableton Mind MCP server (ableton-mind). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
