WHAT IT DOES

What create_table does on Mcp Google Slides

AI agents use create_table 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
`rows`	integer	Yes	Row count (the API allows at most 20 rows at creation).
`x_pt`	number	—	Left edge in points (requires y_pt).
`y_pt`	number	—	Top edge in points (requires x_pt).
`columns`	integer	Yes	Column count (the API allows at most 20 columns at creation).
`width_pt`	number	—	Width in points (requires height_pt).
`height_pt`	number	—	Height in points (requires width_pt).
`object_id`	string	—	Optional custom object id for the new table.
`page_object_id`	string	Yes	The slide's object id to place the table 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.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_table 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_table, this is the rule to start with:

create_table Rate-limited

create_table 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.

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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

FAQ

Questions about create_table

What does the create_table tool do? +

Creates an empty rows x columns table on a slide (batchUpdate createTable) and returns its objectId in the reply. Fill cells with set_text / insert_text using row_index + column_index (0-based); restructure later with edit_table. Position/size are in points; omitted geometry lets the API pick a centered default. Cell styling (borders, background) goes through batch_update updateTableCellProperties. 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_table accept? +

create_table accepts 9 parameters: rows, x_pt, y_pt, columns, width_pt, height_pt, object_id, page_object_id, presentation_id. Required: rows, columns, 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_table? +

Register the Mcp Google Slides MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_table: 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_table? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_table? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_table 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_table completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_table. 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_table? +

create_table 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.
