Lists all build-in and build-out animations for every item on a given slide.
AI agents call list_build_animations 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 queries and returns animation metadata for a slide without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that retrieves existing presentation state. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if an agent calls it repeatedly or on unexpected slides—the worst outcome is information disclosure about animation configurations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_build_animations' and description 'Lists all build-in and build-out animations' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Lists all build-in and build-out animations for every item on a given slide. 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 list_build_animations: 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.
list_build_animations 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 list_build_animations 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 list_build_animations. 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.
list_build_animations 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.
