Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →
Supply Chain Security87
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (124 of 126), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (124 of 126), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency32
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- License check failed: the license (PolyForm-Shield-1.0.0) isn't a recognized OSI-approved license. See how to fix → Fail
- Actively maintained (last published 131 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 739 tokens (~73/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
- Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage82
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 47% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

Dependencies 124 packages
124 packages in the resolved dependency tree · 124 deprecated · 35 stale.
The dependency tree was only partially resolved, so these counts may be incomplete.
The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.
analyze_mix ~95
Runs rule-based heuristic analysis for potential mix issues: frequency buildup, dynamics problems, routing inefficiencies, headroom. Only call when the user explicitly asks for mix feedback or describes a specific problem — do NOT call proactively. Findings are suggestions to consider, not problems to fix. Mix quality is subjective — frame results in context of what the user is trying to achieve. A technically 'imperfect' setting may be an intentional artistic choice.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
create_group_track ~53
Creates a new group track containing the specified tracks. Always confirm with the producer first.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| group_name | string | yes | Name for the new group track |
| track_names | array | yes | Names of tracks to group |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_bridge_health ~54
Returns performance metrics from the M4L bridge device: poll execution time (avg/max), WebSocket message size, LiveAPI cache size, and track count. Use to diagnose performance issues or confirm the device is running efficiently.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_plugin_library ~50
Returns all audio plugins (AU, VST3) installed on this system. Use to know what tools the producer has available.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filter | string | — | Optional search string to filter by plugin name |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_session_context ~72
Returns a snapshot of the current Ableton session: all tracks (names, volumes, panning, mutes, sends, device chains), return tracks, master track, and routing. Call once at the start of a conversation to orient yourself. No need to call again unless the user says the session has changed.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_spectral_snapshot ~136
Captures ~2 seconds of live audio from the master bus and returns peak/RMS levels across frequency bands. Transport MUST be playing — coordinate with the user on which section to analyze (e.g., 'play the chorus'). This is a point-in-time microscope, not a full-song analyzer. Use as a secondary check to verify what device parameter analysis suggests, or to detect issues invisible in the device chain (masking, phase, resonances). For most frequency questions, reading EQ and filter parameters via get_track_details is more informative.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| source | string | — | 'master' for master bus, or a track name |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_track_details ~47
Returns full detail for a specific track including all devices, every parameter in human-readable units, and per-device observations.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| track_name | string | yes | Track name (case-insensitive match) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
set_device_parameter ~117
Sets a device parameter to a new value. Pass values in human-readable units (dB, ms, Hz, ratio, percent). NEVER call without explicit user approval. Present the planned change with current → proposed values first, wait for a clear 'yes', then execute. If the user modifies the plan, re-present and re-confirm before executing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| device_name | string | yes | — |
| parameter_name | string | yes | — |
| track_name | string | yes | — |
| unit | string | yes | — |
| value | number | yes | — |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
set_track_routing ~48
Changes a track's output routing. Always confirm with the producer first.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| output_target | string | yes | Name of the target track/group/bus |
| track_name | string | yes | — |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
toggle_device_bypass ~67
Enables or bypasses a device on a track. Useful for A/B comparison. Always confirm with the user before toggling.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| active | boolean | yes | true = device on, false = bypassed |
| device_name | string | yes | — |
| track_name | string | yes | — |
