WHAT IT DOES

What playlists_focus_active_presentation does on Propresenter

AI agents invoke playlists_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.

RISK

Why playlists_focus_active_presentation is rated High

'Focus' implies triggering a UI action or state change in ProPresenter (directing attention/control to a specific playlist), which is an external operation that affects the running application's state. It does not read data, write/create content, or delete anything, making Execute the best fit. Blast radius is low as it only affects which playlist is focused in a presentation software.
