@alxpark/propresenter-mcp Execute Risk 3/5

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents invoke trigger_active_presentation to trigger processes or run actions in Propresenter. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON TRIGGER_ACTIVE_PRESENTATION

trigger_active_presentation can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the trigger_active_presentation tool do? +

Retrigger the currently active presentation (starts from beginning). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Propresenter MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on trigger_active_presentation? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for trigger_active_presentation. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Propresenter MCP server.

What risk level is trigger_active_presentation? +

trigger_active_presentation is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit trigger_active_presentation? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the trigger_active_presentation rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block trigger_active_presentation completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for trigger_active_presentation. 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.

What MCP server provides trigger_active_presentation? +

trigger_active_presentation is provided by the Propresenter MCP server (@alxpark/propresenter-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
