# get_active_slide_index Get the index of the current slide within the active presentation Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_active_slide_index`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/get-active-slide-index ## Facts - Tool: `get_active_slide_index` - 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": "get_active_slide_index", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_active_slide_index is rated Low This tool retrieves the current slide index from ProPresenter 7, which is a read-only query operation. It has no side effects, does not modify any data, and does not trigger presentations or control playback. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could at most gather presentation state information. This is a classic Read operation. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_active_slide_index' and description 'Get the index of the current slide within the active presentation' indicate a query operation that retrieves state information without modification." ## Use case AI agents call get_active_slide_index 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": { "get_active_slide_index": {} } } ``` ## 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.
