What create_presentation does on Mcp Google Docs
AI agents use create_presentation 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.
Why create_presentation is rated Medium
Creating a new Google Slides presentation is a write operation that adds data/resources but is fully reversible. It does not retrieve data (Read), execute arbitrary code (Execute), permanently destroy data (Destructive), or involve financial transactions (Financial). The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent misusing this tool would create unwanted presentations, which can be easily deleted.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_presentation' and description 'Create a new google slides presentation' indicate creation of a new document/resource. This is a reversible write operation (presentations can be deleted).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_presentation safely

create_presentation 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 Mcp Google Docs, apply this rule, and every create_presentation call is checked against it from then on.
