Get a thumbnail for a specific slide in a presentation
AI agents call get_presentation_thumbnail to retrieve information from Propresenter without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves visual data (a thumbnail image) from an existing presentation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_presentation_thumbnail' and description states 'Get a thumbnail for a specific slide in a presentation' — purely a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.

"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_presentation_thumbnail": {}
}
}get_presentation_thumbnail is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
