WHAT IT DOES

What stage_set_layout_map does on Propresenter

AI agents use stage_set_layout_map 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 stage_set_layout_map is rated Medium

The tool modifies stage layout configuration settings in ProPresenter 7. This is a reversible Write operation that changes presentation staging setup but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or affect financial systems. The 'high' severity reflects that misconfigured stage layouts could disrupt live presentations, which is a significant operational impact for presentation software.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'stage_set_layout_map' contains 'set', and description states 'Set the stage layout map configuration', indicating modification of configuration data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

stage_set_layout_map Rate-limited

stage_set_layout_map 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.

          "counter": "stage_set_layout_map_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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