slide_types · DeckForge MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What slide_types does on DeckForge

AI agents use slide_types to create or update resources in DeckForge — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your DeckForge environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why slide_types needs a policy

An AI agent can call slide_types faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in DeckForge by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Verdict

slide_types Rate-limited

slide_types stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
