AI agents call get_items_in_time_range to retrieve information from Reaper Reapy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The naming convention 'get_' combined with the query-like semantics of 'items_in_time_range' strongly indicates this retrieves or lists audio/MIDI items within a time range without modifying state. This is a typical Read operation with low blast radius—misuse would only expose data, not cause harm to the DAW project.

{
"version": "1",

"tools": {
"get_items_in_time_range": {}
