  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why playlists_trigger_focused is rated High

The tool triggers external operations (media playback) whose effects depend on the current application state. This is Execute category because it runs a triggered action that causes side effects in the ProPresenter application. While not destructive or financial, it actively controls presentation behavior. Severity is high because misuse could disrupt live presentations or events, impacting end-users and services.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'playlists_trigger_focused' and description 'Trigger the focused playlist item' indicate execution of a media playback action on a ProPresenter presentation system."

## Use case

AI agents invoke playlists_trigger_focused 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**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Propresenter:
