WHAT IT DOES

What keynote_start_slideshow does on AirMCP

AI agents invoke keynote_start_slideshow to trigger actions in AirMCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why keynote_start_slideshow is rated High

This tool executes a presentation action on the macOS system rather than merely reading or writing data. While not destructive or financial, it triggers an external operation that could disrupt the user's workflow, display sensitive presentation content, or be used to manipulate what information is presented to others.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'keynote_start_slideshow' and description 'Start playing a Keynote slideshow from a specific slide' indicate active execution of a presentation system action.
