What get_lyrics does on Guitar Pro

AI agents call get_lyrics to retrieve information from Guitar Pro without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_lyrics needs a policy

The 'get_' prefix combined with absence of evidence of state modification suggests this retrieves lyrics data from a Guitar Pro file without altering it. Although the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the naming convention and context make it highly likely this is a read-only retrieval operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_lyrics' indicates a retrieval operation. The empty description provides no countervailing evidence of side effects or modifications.

How to control get_lyrics

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 get_lyrics:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_lyrics": {}
  }
}

get_lyrics is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
