Create a Keynote presentation with multiple fully-configured slides in one call (theme, layout, title, body, notes, transitions)
AI agents use keynote_create_presentation_with_slides to create or update resources in Iwork — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Iwork environment.
This tool creates new presentation files with slides, titles, body content, and transitions. File creation is a Write operation (reversible; files can be deleted or modified). While it modifies the file system, the operation is not destructive (files aren't deleted) and doesn't involve code execution, external system commands, or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Create[s] a Keynote presentation with multiple fully-configured slides' — creating and configuring new documents/presentations is a reversible write operation.

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

Create a Keynote presentation with multiple fully-configured slides in one call (theme, layout, title, body, notes, transitions). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Iwork MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Iwork MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for keynote_create_presentation_with_slides: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Iwork. Nothing to install.
keynote_create_presentation_with_slides 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 keynote_create_presentation_with_slides 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.
