# playlists_trigger_active_announcement_item Trigger a specific announcement item in the active playlist Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `playlists_trigger_active_announcement_item`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alxpark-propresenter-mcp/playlists-trigger-active-announcement-item ## Facts - Tool: `playlists_trigger_active_announcement_item` - 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: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "playlists_trigger_active_announcement_item", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why playlists_trigger_active_announcement_item is rated High This tool executes a command that causes ProPresenter to perform an action (trigger/play an announcement item). While not destructive or financial, triggering presentation playback is an Execute action because it initiates external operations whose effects depend on which announcement item is targeted. Misuse could disrupt a live presentation. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'trigger' and description states 'Trigger a specific announcement item in the active playlist'. The verb 'trigger' indicates execution of an action with external side effects—playing/displaying presentation content in ProPresenter." ## Use case AI agents invoke playlists_trigger_active_announcement_item 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
