Why add_repeat_group needs a policy

The 'add_' prefix and context of sibling tools that create or add musical elements (chords, notes, measures, tracks) indicate this tool reversibly modifies a Guitar Pro file by adding a repeat group element. This is a Write operation—it changes file content but can be undone by removing the added repeat group.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'add_repeat_group' indicating a modification operation. Server description states it 'provid[es] tools for opening, modifying, and saving Guitar Pro files.' Sibling tools include 'add_chord', 'add_note', 'add_track' confirming this server's…

How to control add_repeat_group

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_repeat_group:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add_repeat_group": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_repeat_group_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add_repeat_group 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Guitar Pro — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
