Get arrangement clips and transport state. Parameters: - track_index: Track number (1-based). 0 = all tracks.
AI agents call get_arrangement_info to retrieve information from Ableton MCP Extended without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves information about arrangement clips and playback state without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The 'get' prefix and passive language ('Get') confirm it is a read-only operation. There is no code execution, financial impact, or destructive capability. The parameter 'track_index' is used only to filter which data to retrieve, not to perform any action.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ableton MCP Extended, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_arrangement_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_arrangement_info": {}
}
}get_arrangement_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
