WHAT IT DOES

What stage_delete_layout does on Propresenter

AI agents call stage_delete_layout to permanently remove resources in Propresenter, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why stage_delete_layout is rated Critical

Deleting a stage layout cannot be undone and removes data permanently. While the blast radius is confined to presentation layouts (not financial, not system-level), it represents clear data loss. Severity is high because accidental deletion of an actively-used stage layout in a live presentation environment could disrupt workflows, though it does not affect financial systems or core system integrity.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly uses 'delete' and description states 'Delete a specific stage layout' — this is an irreversible removal of a layout configuration in ProPresenter 7.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

stage_delete_layout Hidden

stage_delete_layout is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

RESTRICT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Propresenter, apply this rule, and every stage_delete_layout call is checked against it from then on.
