# present_status

Ask what the room is ACTUALLY seeing on the screen-share right now. Returns presenting plus the page_id, url and title read live from the shared tab. Use it before telling participants what is on screen, and whenever you are not certain the share still points at the tab you meant — pressing keys or scrolling does NOT change which tab is shared, only present_tab does.

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

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

## Why present_status is rated Low

This tool queries the current state of a screen-share session to determine what content is being displayed. It performs no modifications, deletions, or side effects. The action is informational only — reading the current presentation status, page ID, URL, and title. This is a straightforward Read operation with low severity since it merely returns observational data about an ongoing screen share.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'returns presenting plus the page_id, url and title read live from the shared tab' — purely retrieves/queries the current state of a screen share without modifying anything."

## Use case

AI agents call present_status to retrieve information from Dialogbrain 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 Dialogbrain:

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