What add_ppt does on ChatPPT-MCP

AI agents use add_ppt to create or update resources in ChatPPT-MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ChatPPT-MCP environment.

Medium Risk

Why add_ppt needs a policy

This tool creates or registers new documents in the RAG index—a reversible write operation. It does not execute code, delete data, or move funds. The impact is limited to indexing metadata and document references; the original documents remain intact. Severity is low because misuse would only result in unnecessary index entries, which can be reversed via the sibling tool 'delete_ppt'.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_ppt' and description '将指定的PPT文档添加到RAG索引中' (add specified PPT document to RAG index) indicates document addition/registration to a system.

How to control add_ppt

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

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

add_ppt 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.

  1. Create a free account and register ChatPPT-MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
