# users_set_presence Manually set user presence. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `users_set_presence`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/users-set-presence ## Facts - Tool: `users_set_presence` - Server: Slack (`karbassi/slack-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/karbassi/slack-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "users_set_presence", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why users_set_presence is rated Medium Setting presence is a write operation that changes user status/state in Slack. While reversible and not destructive, it modifies data. The blast radius is medium because spoofing presence (appearing online/offline when you're not) could be used for social engineering, impersonation, or disrupting team coordination, but the impact is limited to presence status and doesn't directly access sensitive data, delete… From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'users_set_presence' and description states 'Manually set user presence' — this modifies user state (presence status) in Slack, which is a reversible change to user data." ## Use case AI agents use users_set_presence to create or update resources in Slack, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Slack environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Slack: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "users_set_presence": { "limits": [ { "counter": "users_set_presence_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Slack (232) - `apps_manifest_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/apps-manifest-delete.md - `apps_uninstall` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/apps-uninstall.md - `auth_revoke` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/auth-revoke.md - `bookmarks_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/bookmarks-remove.md - `cache_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/cache-clear.md - `calls_participants_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/calls-participants-remove.md - `canvases_access_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/canvases-access-delete.md - `canvases_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/canvases-delete.md - `channels_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/channels-delete.md - `chat_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/chat-delete.md - `chat_delete_scheduled_message` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/chat-delete-scheduled-message.md - `conversations_kick` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/conversations-kick.md - `drafts_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/drafts-delete.md - `emoji_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/emoji-remove.md - `files_comments_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/files-comments-delete.md - `files_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/files-delete.md - `files_remote_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/files-remote-remove.md - `files_revoke_public_url` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/files-revoke-public-url.md - `pins_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/pins-remove.md - `reactions_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/reactions-remove.md - `reminders_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/reminders-delete.md - `saved_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/saved-delete.md - `slack_lists_access_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/slack-lists-access-delete.md - `slack_lists_items_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/slack-lists-items-delete.md - `slack_lists_items_delete_multiple` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/slack-lists-items-delete-multiple.md - `stars_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/stars-remove.md - `team_external_teams_disconnect` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/team-external-teams-disconnect.md - `users_admin_set_inactive` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/users-admin-set-inactive.md - `users_delete_photo` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/users-delete-photo.md - `apps_connections_open` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp/apps-connections-open.md - …and 202 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
