PostFader V10 — FL Studio MCP Server

fl_set_mixer_name

Destructive

Rename a mixer track in FL Studio projects; pass an empty name to restore the default label.

Instructions

Rename one mixer track.

An empty name is not a blank label: FL puts the track's default back
("Insert 8"), and the result says so via `restored_default`.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesNew track name. Pass "" to restore FL's default.
track_indexYesZero-based mixer index. Index 0 is Master.
allow_masterNoRequired to target mixer track 0.
expected_beforeNoOptional expected current name; refuse if it changed.
session_fingerprintNoOptional bridge/project-session fingerprint from a recent read. The write refuses after bridge reload or a reported project load. This is a concurrency guard, not authentication or a durable project identity.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already declare this as non-read-only and destructive, so the safety profile is known. The description adds genuinely useful behavioral context beyond that: an empty string is not a blank label, FL replaces it with the default ('Insert 8'), and the result reports this via `restored_default`. This is above the minimum and adds value without contradiction.

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?

Two short, front-loaded sentences with no filler. The core action is first, followed only by the single caveat worth calling out. No information is repeated from the schema.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple single-target rename tool, the description is complete: it states the action, the target scope, the empty-name edge case, and the result signal. Since the schema and annotations already cover parameters, destructive behavior, and output shape, nothing essential is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the parameters are already fully documented and the baseline is 3. The description adds meaning by explaining the non-obvious consequence of the empty-string case and naming the `restored_default` result marker, going slightly beyond what the schema states.

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 opens with the specific verb+object 'Rename one mixer track', which states exactly what the tool does and distinguishes it from the many sibling fl_set_mixer_* tools. The scope is unambiguous even before reading the schema.

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 when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. It never mentions alternatives or conditions such as when to use fl_set_mixer_color, fl_set_mixer_send, or another mixer setter. The only extra sentence covers empty-name behavior, not usage context.

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