WHAT IT DOES

What create_image does on Mcp Google Slides

AI agents use create_image to create or update resources in Mcp Google Slides, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Google Slides environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`x_pt`	number	—	Left edge in points (requires y_pt).
`y_pt`	number	—	Top edge in points (requires x_pt).
`width_pt`	number	—	Width in points (requires height_pt).
`height_pt`	number	—	Height in points (requires width_pt).
`image_url`	string	—	Public https URL of a PNG/JPEG/GIF (exactly one of image_url / image_path).
`object_id`	string	—	Optional custom object id for the new image.
`image_path`	string	—	Absolute local path of a PNG/JPEG/GIF file (exactly one of image_url / image_path).
`page_object_id`	string	Yes	The slide's object id to place the image on (from list_slides).
`presentation_id`	string	Yes	The presentation id — the long id from the URL (docs.google.com/presentation/d/<presentationId>/edit) or from create_presentation output.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_image safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Google Slides, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_image, this is the rule to start with:

create_image Rate-limited

create_image stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

        }
      ]
    }

}

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Google Slides, apply this rule, and every create_image call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about create_image

What does the create_image tool do? +

Inserts an image on a slide (batchUpdate createImage) from EITHER image_url — a public https URL Google's servers can fetch (validated: https-only, no private/local hosts, ≤2 kB; the image itself must be PNG/JPEG/GIF, ≤50 MB, ≤25 megapixels) — OR image_path, a local file that is checked by magic bytes, uploaded to Drive, shared by link for the fetch and DELETED from Drive right after (Slides stores its own copy, so the temp file is disposable; the result reports the cleanup). Omitted size keeps the image's native proportions fitted to the page; position/size are in points. Returns the image objectId in the reply. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Google Slides MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does create_image accept? +

create_image accepts 9 parameters: x_pt, y_pt, width_pt, height_pt, image_url, object_id, image_path, page_object_id, presentation_id. Required: page_object_id, presentation_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on create_image? +

Register the Mcp Google Slides MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_image: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcp Google Slides. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_image? +

create_image is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_image? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_image rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block create_image completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_image. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides create_image? +

create_image is provided by the Mcp Google Slides MCP server (@a1-x-tech/mcp-google-slides). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
