Get list of all FX plugins on a track.
AI agents call track_fx_get_list to retrieve information from Reaper without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about FX plugins currently applied to a track. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations—it simply returns a list of existing effects. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk even if misused by an agent, as it cannot damage audio, delete data, or cause unintended consequences beyond information disclosure.
