@slidemaster/mcp-server Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use render_slides to create or modify resources in SlideMaster. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call render_slides repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach SlideMaster.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the render_slides tool do? +

Use this to generate AI slide images for a project. Each slide gets a background image from the AI model. Optionally pass a style_guide (from analyze_style_image) to apply a consistent visual style. Each slide needs: title (displayed heading), description (visual scene description for AI image generation — write in English for best results, e.g. "Modern office with data charts on screen, blue gradient background"). Example slides array: [{"title": "Introduction", "description": "Clean title slide with modern gradient background, large centered text"}, {"title": "Key Findings", "description": "Professional slide with data visualization, bar charts and icons"}] Costs: 42 credits/slide (1K), 140 credits/slide (2K), 250 credits/slide (4K). Poll check_status after calling.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the SlideMaster MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on render_slides? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for render_slides. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the SlideMaster MCP server.

What risk level is render_slides? +

render_slides is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit render_slides? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the render_slides rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block render_slides completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for render_slides. 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.

What MCP server provides render_slides? +

render_slides is provided by the SlideMaster MCP server (@slidemaster/mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
