Lists all shapes on a slide with position and size information
AI agents call list_shapes 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 retrieves metadata about existing shapes (position, size) from a presentation slide. It has no side effects, creates no new data, modifies nothing, and executes no commands. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation analogous to a query or fetch, placing it firmly in the Read category with low risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_shapes' and description states it 'Lists all shapes on a slide with position and size information'. The verb 'Lists' and action of querying/retrieving data without modification indicates a read-only operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Lists all shapes on a slide with position and size information. 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_shapes: 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_shapes 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_shapes 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_shapes. 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_shapes 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.
