Why clear_all_peak_indicators needs a policy

Clearing peak hold indicators resets a UI/display state in the DAW. This is a write/modification action (resetting indicator state), but it has no effect on audio data, MIDI, or project content. The blast radius is minimal since it only affects visual meters and is easily reversible by simply playing audio again.

How to control clear_all_peak_indicators

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

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

clear_all_peak_indicators 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.
