What describe_nrpn does on Patchwork Deepmind

AI agents call describe_nrpn to retrieve information from Patchwork Deepmind without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why describe_nrpn needs a policy

The tool retrieves and lists NRPN parameter metadata (names, ranges, notes) for informational purposes only. It explicitly states the output is 'for LLM reasoning' and defers actual parameter changes to send_nrpn. No state is modified, no side effects occur; this is a pure query/read operation on synthesizer parameter documentation.

Questions about describe_nrpn

What does the describe_nrpn tool do? +

List known DeepMind 12 NRPN parameters with names, ranges, and notes (for LLM reasoning; use send_nrpn to set values). See resource deepmind12://references/deepmind_nrpn for the full table. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Patchwork Deepmind MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on describe_nrpn? +

Register the Patchwork Deepmind MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for describe_nrpn: 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 Patchwork Deepmind. Nothing to install.

What risk level is describe_nrpn? +

describe_nrpn is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit describe_nrpn? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the describe_nrpn 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.

How do I block describe_nrpn completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for describe_nrpn. 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.

What MCP server provides describe_nrpn? +

describe_nrpn is provided by the Patchwork Deepmind MCP server (truthanb/patchwork-deepmind). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
