What library_get does on Propresenter

AI agents call library_get 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.

Why library_get needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries data from a ProPresenter library without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The verb 'get' combined with 'all items' clearly indicates a read-only query operation. No data is created, modified, or destroyed, and no external operations are triggered. The severity is low because library retrieval poses minimal risk even if invoked repeatedly or with varied arguments.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'library_get' and description 'Get all items in a specific library' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

How to control library_get

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 library_get:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "library_get": {}
  }
}

library_get is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Propresenter — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
