# raw_request Escape hatch to call any Google Slides API v1 path directly, for requests even batch_update doesn't cover — e.g. GET "v1/presentations//pages/" 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.

HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/raw-request ## Facts - Tool: `raw_request` - Server: Mcp Google Slides (`@a1-x-tech/mcp-google-slides`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides.md - Install: `npx -y @a1-x-tech/mcp-google-slides` - Homepage: https://github.com/A1-x-Tech/mcp-google-slides - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 3 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `body` | object | no | JSON request body (POST only). | | `path` | string | yes | API path relative to https://slides.googleapis.com, e.g. "v1/presentations/:batchUpdate". | | `method` | string | no | HTTP method (the Slides API uses only these two). Defaults to GET. | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "raw_request", "arguments": { "path": "" } } } ``` ## Why raw_request is rated High Arbitrary API calls including POST endpoints enable unrestricted create, modify, or delete operations. From the tool's own definition: "call any Google Slides API v1 path directly, escape hatch" Risk signals: Accepts file system path (path) · Accepts raw HTML/template content (body) ## Use case 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mcp Google Slides: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "raw_request": { "limits": [ { "counter": "raw_request_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Mcp Google Slides (25) - `delete_object` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/delete-object.md - `edit_table` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/edit-table.md - `manage_comments` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/manage-comments.md - `batch_update` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/batch-update.md - `get_page` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/get-page.md - `get_presentation` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/get-presentation.md - `get_speaker_notes` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/get-speaker-notes.md - `get_thumbnail` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/get-thumbnail.md - `list_layouts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/list-layouts.md - `list_slides` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/list-slides.md - `add_slide` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/add-slide.md - `create_image` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/create-image.md - `create_presentation` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/create-presentation.md - `create_shape` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/create-shape.md - `create_table` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/create-table.md - `duplicate_slide` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/duplicate-slide.md - `export_presentation` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/export-presentation.md - `insert_text` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/insert-text.md - `move_slides` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/move-slides.md - `replace_image` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/replace-image.md - `replace_text` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/replace-text.md - `set_speaker_notes` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/set-speaker-notes.md - `set_text` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/set-text.md - `update_text_style` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/update-text-style.md - `update_transform` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/a1-x-tech-mcp-google-slides/update-transform.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
