Gets the current program scene. Returns: Name of the current program scene
AI agents call get_current_program_scene to retrieve information from OBS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves the current program scene name from OBS Studio without modifying any state, creating resources, executing commands, or causing any irreversible changes. It is a straightforward query operation that falls clearly into the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_' and description states it 'Gets the current program scene' and 'Returns: Name of the current program scene'. This is a pure read operation with no side effects.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OBS MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_current_program_scene:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_current_program_scene": {}
}
}get_current_program_scene is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
