## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "transport_get_time",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Propresenter:

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