Bug Description

The set_clip_follow_actions function reports success but does not actually set follow actions on clips. The follow actions do not appear in Ableton Live's Launch section after the call completes.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create clips in a session
  2. Call set_clip_follow_actions with valid parameters:
    track_index: 5
    clip_index: 0
    follow_action_a: 3  (Next)
    follow_action_b: 0  (Stop)
    follow_action_time: 30
    follow_action_chance_a: 1.0
    follow_action_chance_b: 0.0
    
  3. Function returns: {"result":"Set follow actions for clip"}
  4. Check the clip in Ableton Live - no follow action is set

Additional Issue

The get_clip_follow_actions getter also appears broken - it only echoes back the input parameters instead of returning the actual follow action values:

{"result":"{\n  \"track_index\": 5,\n  \"clip_index\": 0\n}"}

Expected response should include follow_action_a, follow_action_b, follow_action_time, follow_action_chance_a, follow_action_chance_b.

Environment

  • macOS Darwin 24.6.0
  • Ableton Live (current version)
  • MCP connection active and working for other functions (track creation, clip creation, sample loading all work correctly)

Workaround

Currently must set follow actions manually in Ableton Live's clip Launch section.
