WHAT IT DOES

What raw_request does on Mcp Google Slides

AI agents invoke raw_request to trigger actions in Mcp Google Slides. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`body`	object	—	JSON request body (POST only).
`path`	string	Yes	API path relative to https://slides.googleapis.com, e.g. "v1/presentations/<id>:batchUpdate".
`method`	string	—	HTTP method (the Slides API uses only these two). Defaults to GET.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why raw_request is rated High

Arbitrary API calls including POST endpoints enable unrestricted create, modify, or delete operations.

From the tool's definition call any Google Slides API v1 path directly, escape hatch

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

raw_request Rate-limited

raw_request stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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 raw_request call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about raw_request

What does the raw_request tool do? +

Escape hatch to call any Google Slides API v1 path directly, for requests even batch_update doesn't cover — e.g. GET "v1/presentations/<id>/pages/<pageId>" with a custom fields mask in the query string, or a POST with a body shaped differently from the typed tools. The Slides API only has GET and POST endpoints; the path is relative to https://slides.googleapis.com and may carry a query string. The Bearer token is added automatically; a path resolving to a foreign origin is rejected. Drive endpoints (comments, export) are NOT reachable here — use manage_comments / export_presentation. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Mcp Google Slides MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

What parameters does raw_request accept? +

raw_request accepts 3 parameters: body, path, method. Required: path. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on raw_request? +

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

raw_request is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit raw_request? +

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

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

raw_request 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.
