WHAT IT DOES

What stage_set_screen_layout does on Propresenter

AI agents use stage_set_screen_layout 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_screen_layout is rated Medium

This tool modifies the layout configuration of a stage screen in ProPresenter 7, which is a reversible change (layouts can be changed again). It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), involve financial transactions (Financial), or merely read data (Read). It fits the Write category as it creates or modifies data reversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'stage_set_screen_layout' and description 'Set the layout for a specific stage screen' indicate a modification operation. The verb 'set' implies changing existing configuration/state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

stage_set_screen_layout Rate-limited

stage_set_screen_layout 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.
