Why getDeckReplyInWhiteboard is rated Low
This is a polling/query tool that retrieves asynchronous operation results. It reads the current state of a design task and its output without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The most severe action is a Read operation.
From the tool's definition The tool description indicates it retrieves the status and result of a prior design operation: 'Get the design agent's reply', 'returns the build status', 'Poll until ready', 'once ready, the slide'.

The rule that runs getDeckReplyInWhiteboard safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Stable Baseline, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getDeckReplyInWhiteboard, this is the rule to start with:
getDeckReplyInWhiteboard is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Stable Baseline, apply this rule, and every getDeckReplyInWhiteboard call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about getDeckReplyInWhiteboard
Get the design agent's reply after calling designDeckInWhiteboard OR designIllustrationInWhiteboard: the status (thinking/building/ready) and EITHER the finished result (a deck's slide count + preview, or the placed illustration) OR a clarifying question to answer (call the SAME tool you started with, passing the sessionId + your answer). Poll until ready or a question appears. Give it the whiteboard documentId and the deckId (both returned by the tool you called). It returns the build status ('generating' while working, 'ready' when finished, 'failed' if it failed) plus, once ready, the slide count and a thumbnail image URL. IMPORTANT for the conversation: if the agent asked a CLARIFYING QUESTION instead of doing the work, this returns awaitingUser:true with pendingQuestion (and assistantMessage) — relay that question to the user, then call the SAME design tool again with the same sessionId and the user's answer as message to continue. It also returns the full conversation (history + status + pending question). A turn usually takes about 1 to 3 minutes, so poll every 15 to 30 seconds until it is 'ready' or awaitingUser is true. When ready, the deck or illustration has already been placed on the whiteboard; a deck can also be exported with exportFromWhiteboard. If a turn failed or produced no change, the user was not charged. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Stable Baseline MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
