# focus_active_presentation Focus the currently active presentation Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `focus_active_presentation`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/focus-active-presentation ## Facts - Tool: `focus_active_presentation` - 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: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "focus_active_presentation", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why focus_active_presentation is rated High Focusing a presentation triggers an external operation in ProPresenter 7 (changing UI/display focus to the active presentation). This is an action that affects the running application state rather than simply reading or writing data, making it an Execute category. The blast radius is low as it only changes focus/display state and is likely reversible. From the tool's own definition: "Focus the currently active presentation" ## Use case AI agents invoke focus_active_presentation 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Propresenter: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "focus_active_presentation": { "limits": [ { "counter": "focus_active_presentation_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## 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_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 - `focus_previous_presentation` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/focus-previous-presentation.md - …and 146 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
