Returns an array of all slides in the frontmost presentation with index, title text, and layout name.
AI agents call list_slides 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 retrieves metadata about existing slides (index, title, layout) from an open presentation. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. It is purely informational, making it a Read-category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_slides' and description states it 'Returns an array of all slides' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
