How to control auto_cleanup_vocal ↓

AI agents invoke auto_cleanup_vocal to trigger actions in AudacityMCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Based on sibling tools like 'auto_cleanup_audio' and 'auto_cleanup_interview', this tool likely performs automated audio processing/cleanup on vocal tracks. This constitutes an Execute-level action as it triggers audio processing operations that modify audio data. The description is empty, lowering confidence. Severity is high because automated cleanup could alter or overwrite vocal audio tracks in Audacity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'auto_cleanup_vocal' on a server that performs audio editing and processing operations; description is empty/uninformative.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access auto_cleanup_vocal gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AudacityMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for auto_cleanup_vocal:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "auto_cleanup_vocal": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "auto_cleanup_vocal_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

auto_cleanup_vocal stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register AudacityMCP — 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.
