8 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "relay_send" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
    • The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Play or set something on the user's hardware through a relay: give a driver (id or slug) and one of its OSC addresses from list_routes with its arguments (e.g. address '/filter/cutoff', args [64]; '/note/on', args [60, 100]) — the server turns it into the right CC, NRPN, note or SysEx message. Or give raw MIDI bytes as hex. Values are the device's own numbers, clamped to the parameter's range. Sending a patch store or memory-writing SysEx overwrites the device: ask the user first.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find which devices are connected to the user's machine through a relay: sends the MIDI Identity Request (F0 7E 7F 06 01 F7, changes nothing on the device) to every output and matches the answers — manufacturer, model, firmware version — against the catalogue. Returns the best driver ids and identity_hex to pass to report_result. Devices that do not answer are only listed by port name.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Listen to what the user's hardware sends through a relay for a few seconds: notes, CC, NRPN, SysEx, decoded. With a device, each CC or NRPN that moved is matched to the driver's OSC addresses — ask the user to move one control on the device while listening to learn which address it is, or to check that the driver's map is right (then record what you saw with report_mapping, so the catalogue learns it).

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Teach the catalogue which MIDI message a control really sends: after the user moved one control on the device (see relay_listen), give the driver address it is (from list_routes) — or, for a control the driver lacks, its panel label — and the CC, NRPN or note it sent, with the firmware and the device's Identity Reply when you have them.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Tell the catalogue how a driver behaved on a real device, after testing it: 'works', 'fails' or 'partial', for the whole driver or one OSC address (from list_routes). Give the firmware version, and the device's reply to the MIDI Identity Request (F0 7E 7F 06 01 F7) as identity_hex when you can: trust is counted per firmware, so a failure on another firmware does not count against the driver, and a report of unknown firmware cannot be placed. Several accounts that agree on one firmware mark the driver usage-verified there; a report that several others contradict is rolled back and puts its account under review. Report only what was actually tested.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    How far a driver has been confirmed by people who used it, per firmware: status (unreported, unconfirmed, usage-verified, firmware-dependent, failing, disputed), how many users report it works / fails / partly works, each firmware's own status, the device identities seen for each firmware, and the same per OSC address. needs_firmware: true means reports disagree and some have no firmware — identify the device before reporting (see learn).

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find device drivers in the catalogue (about 980 synths, drum machines, controllers and DAWs). Without arguments it lists them all; `query` keeps drivers whose vendor, name or slug contain every word (e.g. 'korg minilogue').

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

32 paths in this server alone from private data, through text someone else wrote, to a way out. Denying 2 outbound tools breaks every one.
