WHAT IT DOES

What transport_get_current does on Propresenter

AI agents call transport_get_current to retrieve information from Propresenter without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why transport_get_current is rated Low

This tool queries/retrieves the current state of a specified layer in ProPresenter 7. It performs a read-only operation that fetches information about what content is currently displayed. There is no data modification, execution of arbitrary code, deletion, or financial impact. The minimal severity reflects that retrieving presentation state poses negligible risk to the system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'transport_get_current' combined with description 'Get the current content on the specified layer' indicates retrieval of data without modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs transport_get_current safely

transport_get_current Allowed

transport_get_current is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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