WHAT IT DOES

What toggle_mask_overlay does on Lightroom Classic MCP

AI agents invoke toggle_mask_overlay to trigger actions in Lightroom Classic MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why toggle_mask_overlay is rated High

This tool triggers a UI state change in Lightroom Classic (toggling a visual overlay), which is an external application operation rather than a simple data read or write. It affects the application's display state but has minimal blast radius as it is reversible and non-destructive to actual photo data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs toggle_mask_overlay safely

toggle_mask_overlay Rate-limited

toggle_mask_overlay stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
