Get detailed information about a specific track in Ableton. Parameters: - track_index: Track number (1-based).
AI agents call get_track_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 retrieves metadata about a track (e.g., name, type, settings, device chain) based on a track index parameter. It has no side effects—it queries state without altering the session. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk if an AI misuses it; worst case, it surfaces information the user already has access to.

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_track_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_track_info": {}
}
}get_track_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
