WHAT IT DOES

What export_presentation does on Mcp Google Slides

AI agents use export_presentation 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
`format`	string	Yes	The export format.
`output_path`	string	Yes	Local file path to write, e.g. /tmp/deck.pdf — existing files are overwritten.
`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.

RISK

Why export_presentation is rated Medium

An AI agent can call export_presentation faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Mcp Google Slides by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

export_presentation Rate-limited

export_presentation 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 export_presentation call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about export_presentation

What does the export_presentation tool do? +

Downloads the whole presentation as pdf, pptx, odp or txt (txt = all text incl. speaker notes) and saves it to output_path, overwriting an existing file. Served by the Drive export endpoint internally, which caps exports at 10 MB — a bigger deck fails with an export-size error (split it or use the Slides UI). Requires a Drive scope on the OAuth token (drive.readonly is enough; presentations-only gets a 403). Returns saved_to, bytes and mime_type; nothing in the presentation changes. 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 export_presentation accept? +

export_presentation accepts 3 parameters: format, output_path, presentation_id. Required: format, output_path, presentation_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on export_presentation? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit export_presentation? +

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

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

export_presentation 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.
