WHAT IT DOES

What add_shape_to_slide does on Mcp Google Docs

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

RISK

Why add_shape_to_slide is rated Medium

Adding a shape to a slide creates or modifies presentation content reversibly—the action can be undone or the shape can be deleted. This fits the Write category (creates/modifies data reversibly) rather than Read (no modification), Execute (no code execution), Destructive (reversible), or Financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_shape_to_slide' indicates creation of visual elements in a presentation; sibling tools like 'add_image_to_slide', 'add_slide_notes', and 'add_slide_to_presentation' all perform reversible write operations on Google Slides.
