Replace all matching text across presentation slides
AI agents use replaceAllTextInSlides to create or update resources in Google Drive MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Google Drive MCP Server environment.
This tool creates or modifies data in Google Slides presentations reversibly—the replaced text can be undone via version history. While it affects multiple slides at scale (high blast radius if misused to replace text with malicious/incorrect content), the changes are not destructive (data is not deleted, only overwritten), not financial, and not code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'replaceAllTextInSlides' and description 'Replace all matching text across presentation slides' indicate modification of document content. The 'Replace all' pattern modifies existing data across multiple objects (all slides matching criteria).

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Drive MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for replaceAllTextInSlides:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"replaceAllTextInSlides": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "replacealltextinslides_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}replaceAllTextInSlides 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.

Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Google Drive MCP Server. Nothing to install.
replaceAllTextInSlides is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the replaceAllTextInSlides rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for replaceAllTextInSlides. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
