Read the content and structure of a Google Slides presentation.
AI agents call readPresentation to retrieve information from Google Workspace MCP Server 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 the structure and content of an existing Google Slides presentation. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial obligations. It is a straightforward read operation that fetches data, fitting squarely in the Read category with low severity because misuse would only expose information already accessible to the authenticated user.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'readPresentation' and description 'Read the content and structure of a Google Slides presentation' explicitly indicate a read-only retrieval operation with no modification or execution of external actions.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the readPresentation 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 readPresentation. 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.
