WHAT IT DOES

What duplicate_slide does on Mcp Google Slides

AI agents use duplicate_slide 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
`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.
`slide_object_id`	string	Yes	The object id of the slide (or page element) to duplicate.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

duplicate_slide Rate-limited

duplicate_slide 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 duplicate_slide call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about duplicate_slide

What does the duplicate_slide tool do? +

Duplicates a slide (batchUpdate duplicateObject) — the copy, with all its elements and speaker notes, lands immediately after the original and its new objectId comes back in the reply. Works on any page element id too (the copy lands on the same slide, slightly offset). Move the copy with move_slides afterwards if needed. 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 duplicate_slide accept? +

duplicate_slide accepts 2 parameters: presentation_id, slide_object_id. Required: presentation_id, slide_object_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on duplicate_slide? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit duplicate_slide? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the duplicate_slide 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 duplicate_slide completely? +

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

duplicate_slide 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.
