Why keynote.reorder_slides needs a policy

Reordering slides modifies the structure of a Keynote presentation by changing slide positions. This is a reversible write operation (slides can be moved back), but misuse could disrupt presentation order. No data is deleted or executed, making Write the appropriate category.

How to control keynote.reorder_slides

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Orchard, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for keynote.reorder_slides:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "keynote.reorder_slides": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "keynote.reorder_slides_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

keynote.reorder_slides stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
