Medium Risk

export_presentation

Export a presentation to PDF, PPTX, or get a shareable link. Returns a generation_id to poll. Download URLs available when completed.

Part of the Alai Presentations MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use export_presentation to create or modify resources in Alai Presentations. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call export_presentation repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Alai Presentations.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the export_presentation tool do? +

Export a presentation to PDF, PPTX, or get a shareable link. Returns a generation_id to poll. Download URLs available when completed.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Alai Presentations MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on export_presentation? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for export_presentation. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Alai Presentations MCP server.

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 Intercept 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 Intercept 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 Alai Presentations MCP server (alai/presentations). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
