What props_get_all does on Propresenter
AI agents call props_get_all to retrieve information from Propresenter without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why props_get_all is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves data from the ProPresenter 7 props library without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only operation, consistent with the Read category definition of 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects'. The severity is low because retrieving library metadata poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'props_get_all' and description 'Get all props in the library' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

The rule that runs props_get_all 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_get_all, this is the rule to start with:
props_get_all is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Propresenter, apply this rule, and every props_get_all call is checked against it from then on.
