One-call setup for redesign: exports all slides as PNG images AND returns the full element tree for every slide. This is the best starting point for a full presentation redesign or polish pass.
AI agents call keynote_get_design_snapshot to retrieve information from Keynote without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Register the Keynote MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for keynote_get_design_snapshot: 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. Nothing to install.
keynote_get_design_snapshot 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 keynote_get_design_snapshot 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 keynote_get_design_snapshot. 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.
