How to control dsl_track_mute ↓

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

Medium Risk

Muting a track is a reversible state change (can be unmuted), placing it in the Write category. Severity is low as it only affects audio playback state within a DAW session. Confidence is reduced due to empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'dsl_track_mute' and empty description. Based on name alone, infers muting/unmuting a track in REAPER DAW.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access dsl_track_mute gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dsl_track_mute": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "dsl_track_mute_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

dsl_track_mute 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.

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