AI agents use add_gp_note to create or update resources in Guitar Pro — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Guitar Pro environment.
The tool adds a note to a Guitar Pro file, which is a reversible write operation (notes can be deleted or modified afterward). This is clearly Write category rather than Destructive. Severity is medium because incorrect note addition could corrupt musical composition data or create large files, but the effect is reversible and scoped to a single document element.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_gp_note' indicates creation/modification of musical notation within Guitar Pro files. Sibling tools like 'add_chord', 'add_section', 'add_gp_measure', and 'add_gp_track' all modify document structure reversibly.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add_gp_note gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Guitar Pro, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_gp_note:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"add_gp_note": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "add_gp_note_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}add_gp_note stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

add_gp_note. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Guitar Pro MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Guitar Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_gp_note: 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 Guitar Pro. Nothing to install.
add_gp_note is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_gp_note 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 add_gp_note. 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.
add_gp_note is provided by the Guitar Pro MCP server (wegitor/guitar-pro-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Guitar Pro, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
