AI agents call midi_delete_note 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 irreversibly removes MIDI note data from a music project, which cannot be undone without undo functionality external to this tool call itself. Deletion of creative content in a DAW context is a destructive action.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'midi_delete_note' explicitly performs deletion ('delete') of MIDI note data. Description confirms irreversible removal: 'Delete a note.'
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access midi_delete_note gives an agent:
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 midi_delete_note:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"midi_delete_note"
]
}midi_delete_note disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Register the Reaper MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for midi_delete_note: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches ReaperMCP. Nothing to install.
midi_delete_note is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the midi_delete_note rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for midi_delete_note. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
midi_delete_note is provided by the Reaper MCP server (xdarkzx/reaper-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from ReaperMCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
