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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why trigger_focused_next is rated High

This tool executes an operation that changes the state of a presentation system (advancing to the next cue). While not destructive or financial, it is an Execute category tool because it triggers external operations whose effects depend on the presentation context. The severity is high because misuse could disrupt a live presentation or broadcast, affecting the actual audience experience.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'trigger' and description states 'Trigger the next cue in the focused presentation' - this performs a specific action that advances presentation state and has external effects on the presentation system."

## Use case

AI agents invoke trigger_focused_next to trigger actions in Propresenter. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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