What masks_get does on Propresenter
AI agents call masks_get 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.
Why masks_get is rated Low
The 'get' verb and 'Get details' phrasing are characteristic of read-only operations that query data about masks in ProPresenter 7 without altering state, executing code, or triggering external operations. This is a simple data retrieval tool with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'masks_get' and description 'Get details of a specific mask' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs masks_get safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Propresenter, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For masks_get, this is the rule to start with:
masks_get is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Propresenter, apply this rule, and every masks_get call is checked against it from then on.

Get details of a specific mask. 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 masks_get: 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.
masks_get 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 masks_get 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 masks_get. 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.
masks_get 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.
