Why download_presentation needs a policy

This tool retrieves a download URL for an already-generated presentation. It performs a query operation with no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The worst-case misuse would be unauthorized access to presentations, which is a read-level concern. Severity is low because the blast radius is limited to information disclosure of presentation data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'download_presentation' and description 'Get the download URL for a generated presentation' indicate retrieval of a URL without modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.

How to control download_presentation

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Slidespeak, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for download_presentation:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "download_presentation": {}
  }
}

download_presentation is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Slidespeak — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
