Returns the total number of slides in the frontmost presentation.
AI agents call get_slide_count to retrieve information from Keynote MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple read-only query on presentation state, returning a numeric count. It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius if misused by an agent is negligible since reading slide count poses no risk to data integrity or system security.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate a query operation: 'Returns the total number of slides' — retrieves metadata without modifying or executing side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Returns the total number of slides in the frontmost presentation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Keynote MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Keynote MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_slide_count: 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 Keynote MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_slide_count is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_slide_count 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 get_slide_count. 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.
get_slide_count is provided by the Keynote MCP Server MCP server (superdwayne/keynotemp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
