WHAT IT DOES

What transport_get_time does on Propresenter

AI agents call transport_get_time 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_time is rated Low

This tool queries the current playback time state from ProPresenter 7 without modifying, executing external operations, or causing any irreversible changes. It is a simple getter that returns information about media playback status, consistent with the Read category of tools that retrieve or query data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'transport_get_time' and description 'Get the current playback time of the specified layer' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

transport_get_time Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "transport_get_time": {}
  }
}

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_time call is checked against it from then on.
