WHAT IT DOES

What announcement_focus_active does on Propresenter

AI agents invoke announcement_focus_active to trigger actions in Propresenter. 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 announcement_focus_active is rated High

This tool triggers a UI/presentation action (focusing the active announcement) in ProPresenter 7, which is an external operation affecting the presentation software's state. It doesn't merely read data, but it also doesn't write, delete, or involve finances. Focusing a presentation is a reversible operational action with minimal blast radius.
