WHAT IT DOES

What props_create_collection does on Propresenter

AI agents use props_create_collection 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.

RISK

Why props_create_collection is rated Medium

This tool creates (write) a new prop collection, which is a reversible modification to presentation data. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. The severity is medium because creating collections in a presentation system could affect presentation structure or layout, but the impact is localized and reversible (can be deleted).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'props_create_collection' with description 'Create a new prop collection' indicates a create operation that adds new data to the ProPresenter 7 presentation system.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs props_create_collection 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 props_create_collection, this is the rule to start with:

props_create_collection Rate-limited

props_create_collection stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
