MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Pptx tools

Destructive · High pptx_delete_shape This tool permanently removes shapes from PowerPoint slides without a reversible alternative. Destructive · High pptx_delete_slide Deletion of slide content cannot be undone programmatically by the tool itself. Write · Medium pptx_build_deck The name 'build_deck' strongly implies creating or assembling a PowerPoint presentation file, which is a Write operation. Write · Medium pptx_build_slide The description is empty, so classification relies on the tool name and server context.

33 of Pptx's 39 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Pptx

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Pptx, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "pptx_delete_shape": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "pptx_add_auto_fit_textbox": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "pptx_add_auto_fit_textbox_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "pptx_check_layout": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "pptx_check_layout_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Pptx — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about Pptx

Can an AI agent delete data through the Pptx MCP server? +

Yes. The Pptx server exposes 2 destructive tools including pptx_delete_shape, pptx_delete_slide. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Pptx? +

The Pptx server has 31 write tools including pptx_add_auto_fit_textbox, pptx_add_bullet_block, pptx_add_callout. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Pptx.

How many tools does the Pptx MCP server expose? +

39 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 6 are read-only. 33 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Pptx? +

Register the Pptx MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Pptx tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 39 Pptx tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
