Why marker_get_all needs a policy

This tool retrieves existing marker and region metadata from a REAPER project without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a non-destructive read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be accessing metadata that may or may not be sensitive within a music production context.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'marker_get_all' and description 'Get all markers and regions' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' is explicitly a data query operation.

How to control marker_get_all

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

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

marker_get_all 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 ReaperMCP — 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.
