WHAT IT DOES

What ppt_create does on Local

AI agents use ppt_create to create or update resources in Local, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Local environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`path`	string	Yes	Output path for the .pptx file
`slides`	array	Yes	Array of {title, bullets:[]} slide objects
`confirm`	boolean	—	Must be true to create

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why ppt_create is rated Medium

Creating a PowerPoint file is a write operation that generates new data on disk. It is reversible (the file can be deleted) and has no financial impact, so it falls under Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ppt_create' and description states it 'Creates a PowerPoint (.pptx) file' — this is file creation/generation that modifies the local filesystem.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ppt_create safely

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

ppt_create Rate-limited

ppt_create 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Local, apply this rule, and every ppt_create call is checked against it from then on.
