  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why playlists_set is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies playlist data in ProPresenter 7. The operation is reversible—playlists can be re-edited or restored—making it a Write action rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because misuse could disrupt presentation workflows by modifying active playlists, but the effect is not destructive and can be corrected.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'playlists_set' and description 'Update the contents of a specific playlist' indicate modification of data that is reversible."

## Use case

AI agents use playlists_set to create or update resources in Propresenter, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Propresenter environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
