AI agents call pptx_get_info to retrieve information from Pptx without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries presentation information (slide count, dimensions, shape summaries) with no side effects. It follows the Read category pattern of fetching data without creating, modifying, or deleting any content.
