AI agents call capture_get_settings to retrieve information from Propresenter without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves capture settings from ProPresenter 7 without making any changes. It performs a read-only query operation with no side effects, placing it in the Read category. The severity is low as exposure of capture settings configuration poses minimal risk to system integrity or security.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'get_' prefix and description states 'Get the current capture settings', indicating a query operation that retrieves configuration without modifying state.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access capture_get_settings gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Propresenter, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for capture_get_settings:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"capture_get_settings": {}
}
}capture_get_settings is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get the current capture settings. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Propresenter MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Propresenter MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for capture_get_settings: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Propresenter. Nothing to install.
capture_get_settings is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the capture_get_settings rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for capture_get_settings. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
capture_get_settings is provided by the Propresenter MCP server (@alxpark/propresenter-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Propresenter, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
