WHAT IT DOES

What timers_reset does on Propresenter

AI agents use timers_reset 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 timers_reset is rated Medium

Resetting a timer modifies its state (sets it back to initial/zero) but is a reversible operation — the timer can be started again. This is a Write operation rather than Destructive since no data is permanently deleted. Misuse could disrupt live presentation timing, hence medium severity.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

timers_reset Rate-limited

timers_reset 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.

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

Can I rate-limit timers_reset? +
