What get_sections does on Guitar Pro

AI agents call get_sections 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_sections needs a policy

The 'get_' prefix combined with 'sections' indicates data retrieval. Although the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the tool name strongly suggests a read-only operation that queries existing sections from a Guitar Pro file. No evidence of side effects, modification, deletion, execution, or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_sections' uses the 'get' verb, which conventionally retrieves data without modification. No description provided, but the name and context within a Guitar Pro file manipulation server suggest a query operation.

How to control get_sections

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_sections:

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

get_sections 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.
