AI agents call keynote_list_presentations 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.
This tool queries and retrieves metadata about open presentations without altering any data, executing code, or triggering external operations. It is a straightforward informational read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List[s] all currently open Keynote presentations' and 'Returns index, name, slide count, and file path for each' — pure retrieval with no modification or side effects.
