What keynote_add_slide does on AirMCP
AI agents use keynote_add_slide to create or update resources in AirMCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AirMCP environment.
Why keynote_add_slide is rated Medium
This tool creates and adds a new slide to an existing presentation, which is a reversible modification of data. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete content, or move money. The severity is medium because modifying a presentation could affect business content, but the action is easily undoable (slides can be deleted), and the blast radius is limited to the presentation file itself.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'keynote_add_slide' and description 'Add a new slide to a Keynote presentation' indicate creation of new content within a presentation document.
