Low Risk

Why get_project_summary needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries data about a REAPER project (summary information) with no side effects. It fits the Read category as a data retrieval operation. Severity is low because access to project metadata poses minimal risk to system integrity or music production workflow stability.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_project_summary' indicates data retrieval. The empty description prevents full certainty, but the name strongly suggests querying project metadata without modification.

How to control get_project_summary

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 get_project_summary:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_project_summary": {}
  }
}

get_project_summary is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Reaper — 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.
