# focus_presentation Focus a presentation without triggering it Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `focus_presentation`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/focus-presentation ## Facts - Tool: `focus_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_presentation", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why focus_presentation is rated High Focusing a presentation in ProPresenter is an external operation that changes the application's state (which presentation is in focus), but does not display/trigger content. It triggers an action in an external application (ProPresenter 7), making it Execute rather than Read or Write. Severity is low as it only changes focus state without displaying content. From the tool's own definition: "Focus a presentation without triggering it" ## Use case AI agents invoke focus_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_presentation": { "limits": [ { "counter": "focus_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_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_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.
