enable_arrangement_loop

Enable or disable the arrangement loop in Ableton Live to repeat a section during playback. Control looping to focus on specific parts of your composition.

Instructions

Enable or disable the arrangement loop.

Parameters:

  • enabled: True to enable looping, False to disable it (default: True)

  • user_prompt: The original user prompt that led to this tool call (for telemetry)

Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action (enable/disable) but does not explain what happens when toggled, whether it affects playback, or if there are side effects. This is a simple toggle, but the description lacks detail about the observable behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise (one line + parameter breakdown) and front-loaded with the primary action. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, making it easy to parse quickly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple toggle tool, the description covers the parameters and core action. However, it does not describe the return value or any side effects, and with no output schema or annotations, this information is missing. It is adequate but not fully complete for a tool that mutates state.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description explicitly explains both parameters: 'enabled' (True to enable, False to disable) and 'user_prompt' (original prompt for telemetry). This adds meaningful semantics beyond the schema's type/default fields, fully compensating for the lack of schema descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Enable or disable the arrangement loop.' It uses a specific verb and resource, making the purpose unambiguous. It also distinguishes from sibling tools like 'set_arrangement_time' or 'set_loop_region' by focusing on the loop toggle action.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, context, or cases where a different tool (e.g., 'set_loop_region') would be more appropriate. The usage context is only implied by the tool name and description.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
