AI agents call midi_delete_all_notes to permanently remove resources in ReaperMCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes all notes from a MIDI item without the ability to recover them through the tool itself. While REAPER likely has undo functionality, the tool's direct action is destructive in nature. In a music production context, accidental deletion of all notes from a MIDI track represents significant data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'midi_delete_all_notes' and description 'Clear all notes from a MIDI item' indicate irreversible deletion of MIDI note data.
