What track_create does on Ableton Mind

AI agents use track_create to create or update resources in Ableton Mind — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ableton Mind environment.

Why track_create needs a policy

The tool creates new tracks in Ableton Live, modifying the session structure. This is a Write operation because it creates data reversibly—tracks can be undone or deleted. It is not Destructive (no irreversible deletion), Execute (doesn't run arbitrary code), or Financial. The medium severity reflects that misuse could clutter a session, but the effects are easily reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Create a new MIDI or audio track' and 'every call creates a track'. This is data creation with reversible effects (tracks can be deleted).
