Copy a PowerPoint presentation to a new file, optionally in a different folder.
AI agents use powerpoint_copy_presentation to create or update resources in Sage MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Sage MCP environment.
This tool creates a new reversible resource (a presentation file copy). While it modifies the file system by adding a new file, it does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, move money, or irreversibly alter existing content. The severity is medium because inadvertent copying could create unwanted duplicates or clutter file storage, but the operation is fully reversible by deleting the copy.
From the tool's definition The tool 'powerpoint_copy_presentation' explicitly states it copies a PowerPoint presentation to a new file. 'Copy' is a write operation that creates new data (a duplicate presentation file) without permanently destroying the original.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access powerpoint_copy_presentation gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sage MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for powerpoint_copy_presentation:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"powerpoint_copy_presentation": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "powerpoint_copy_presentation_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}powerpoint_copy_presentation 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.

Copy a PowerPoint presentation to a new file, optionally in a different folder. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sage MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Sage MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for powerpoint_copy_presentation: 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 Sage MCP. Nothing to install.
powerpoint_copy_presentation 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 powerpoint_copy_presentation 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 powerpoint_copy_presentation. 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.
powerpoint_copy_presentation is provided by the Sage MCP server (sagemcp/sagemcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
