# capture_get_encodings Get available capture encodings for a specific type Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `capture_get_encodings`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/capture-get-encodings ## Facts - Tool: `capture_get_encodings` - 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": "capture_get_encodings", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why capture_get_encodings is rated Low This tool performs a read-only query to retrieve available encoding options. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not involve financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only enumerate available encodings, which is informational metadata about the ProPresenter system. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'capture_get_encodings' and description 'Get available capture encodings for a specific type' indicate a query operation that retrieves configuration or capability information without modifying state." ## Use case AI agents call capture_get_encodings 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": { "capture_get_encodings": {} } } ``` ## 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.
