List all cue points (locators) with bar positions.
AI agents call get_cue_points 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 retrieves and queries existing cue point metadata from an Ableton Live session. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations—it simply returns information about locators and their positions. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition The tool is named 'get_cue_points' and described as 'List all cue points (locators) with bar positions.' The verb 'List' and 'get' indicate data retrieval without modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_cue_points gives an agent:
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_cue_points:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_cue_points": {}
}
}get_cue_points is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all cue points (locators) with bar positions. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ableton MCP Extended MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ableton MCP Extended MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cue_points: 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 Ableton MCP Extended. Nothing to install.
get_cue_points is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_cue_points 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_cue_points. 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.
get_cue_points is provided by the Ableton MCP Extended MCP server (uisato/ableton-mcp-extended). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
