Why transpose_track needs a policy

Transposing a track changes pitch values of notes within a Guitar Pro file, which is a modification (Write category) rather than a destructive delete or an Execute-level code execution. The absence of a description lowers confidence slightly, but the function name and server context (file manipulation) strongly suggest this modifies note data reversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'transpose_track' with no description; sibling tools on this MCP server include 'add_chord', 'add_gp_note', 'add_gp_track', and 'modify'/'save' operations that manipulate Guitar Pro files.

How to control transpose_track

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 transpose_track:

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

transpose_track 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.
