RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs replaceAllTextInSlides safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Google Drive, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For replaceAllTextInSlides, this is the rule to start with:

replaceAllTextInSlides Rate-limited

replaceAllTextInSlides 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.

Questions about replaceAllTextInSlides

What does the replaceAllTextInSlides tool do? +

Replace all matching text across a presentation. It reaches slides, speaker notes, layouts and masters, so a match on a layout or master changes every slide that uses it. A match can run across paragraphs inside one text box or table cell, never across two. Pass expectedCount to refuse the write when the count differs. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Google Drive MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
