HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/announcement-get-active ## Facts - Tool: `announcement_get_active` - Server: Propresenter (`@alxpark/propresenter-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y @alxpark/propresenter-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/alxpark/propresenter-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "announcement_get_active", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why announcement_get_active is rated Low This tool retrieves the state of the currently active announcement without triggering changes, executing code, or affecting data persistence. It is a straightforward query operation that returns information about the presentation state. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—unauthorized access reveals only the current presentation context, not sensitive data or system control. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'announcement_get_active' and description 'Get the currently active announcement presentation' indicate a read-only retrieval operation with no modification or execution of external processes." ## Use case AI agents call announcement_get_active to retrieve information from Propresenter without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Propresenter: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "announcement_get_active": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Propresenter (176) - `clear_layer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/clear-layer.md - `messages_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/messages-delete.md - `props_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/props-clear.md - `props_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/props-delete.md - `props_delete_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/props-delete-collection.md - `stage_delete_layout` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/stage-delete-layout.md - `announcement_focus_active` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/announcement-focus-active.md - `announcement_timeline_operation` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/announcement-timeline-operation.md - `announcement_trigger_active` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/announcement-trigger-active.md - `announcement_trigger_cue` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/announcement-trigger-cue.md - `announcement_trigger_next` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/announcement-trigger-next.md - `announcement_trigger_previous` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/announcement-trigger-previous.md - `audio_focus_active_playlist` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-focus-active-playlist.md - `audio_focus_next_playlist` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-focus-next-playlist.md - `audio_focus_playlist` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-focus-playlist.md - `audio_focus_previous_playlist` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-focus-previous-playlist.md - `audio_trigger_active_next` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-trigger-active-next.md - `audio_trigger_active_playlist` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-trigger-active-playlist.md - `audio_trigger_active_previous` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-trigger-active-previous.md - `audio_trigger_focused_next` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-trigger-focused-next.md - `audio_trigger_focused_playlist` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-trigger-focused-playlist.md - `audio_trigger_focused_previous` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-trigger-focused-previous.md - `audio_trigger_playlist` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-trigger-playlist.md - `audio_trigger_playlist_item` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/audio-trigger-playlist-item.md - `capture_operation` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/capture-operation.md - `clear_trigger_group` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/clear-trigger-group.md - `find_my_mouse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/find-my-mouse.md - `focus_active_presentation` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/focus-active-presentation.md - `focus_next_presentation` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/focus-next-presentation.md - `focus_presentation` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/focus-presentation.md - …and 146 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
