Subscribe to status updates with specific configuration
AI agents call status_post_updates to retrieve information from Propresenter without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Subscribing to status updates is a read-only operation that retrieves data without modifying ProPresenter state, creating side effects, or executing arbitrary code. The 'post updates' phrasing refers to posting updates to a subscriber (the caller), not posting data to modify system state. This is consistent with the Read category for data retrieval operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'status_post_updates' and description 'Subscribe to status updates with specific configuration' indicate a subscription/listener pattern for receiving status information from ProPresenter 7.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access status_post_updates gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Propresenter, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for status_post_updates:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"status_post_updates": {}
}
}status_post_updates is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Subscribe to status updates with specific configuration. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Propresenter MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Propresenter MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for status_post_updates: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Propresenter. Nothing to install.
status_post_updates is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the status_post_updates rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for status_post_updates. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
status_post_updates is provided by the Propresenter MCP server (@alxpark/propresenter-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Propresenter, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
