Claude Code: deny. ### `edit_deck` - The name "edit_deck" says "edit": a word for a change. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Change one or more slides of a deck you already rendered, in place and free: only the patched slides re-render, the deck is re-merged and keeps its id and links. Never runs a model: a brief or a picture request is refused. Each edited slide's entry carries its full current spec as `intent`. Up to 20 edits per deck. ``` ### `edit_slide` - The name "edit_slide" says "edit": a word for a change. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Change a slide you already rendered, in place and free: the job keeps its id and links. Send the job_id and a patch of the fields to change. Never runs a model: a brief or a picture request is refused (make a new slide for those). The response carries the slide's full current spec as `intent`. Up to 20 edits per slide. ``` ### `manage_account` - The description says "irreversible". - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text SlideForge account for PowerPoint generation: balance, job history, feedback, data controls. All free. Actions: status (balance+plan), usage (spend breakdown), jobs (history), job (single job detail — slide jobs include `quality_warnings[]`; deck jobs add `slides_completed/slides_failed/failed_slides[]`), feedback (submit), feedback_list (read your reports back: status + resolution), onboarding (capabilities overview), download_url (fresh short-TTL PPTX link for an owned job — when a result carries no inline URL), security_status (retention + access-model + deletion posture), delete_job (irreversible: job + versions + files) Action delete_asset irreversibly deletes a user-owned uploaded/generated image asset. ``` ## Changes things (5) Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask. ### `create_deck` - The name "create_deck" says "create": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Create a complete PowerPoint presentation (.pptx): a whole multi-slide deck, native and editable, in one call. `slides` is a list of create_slide intents (same form menu + data shapes — see create_slide). Slides fill in parallel and merge into one themed PPTX with page numbers. Include furniture: a hero_statement cover, section_divider breaks, and a closing (hero_statement variant=contact_closing via blocks-free slots). BLOCKED (not billed)? If an error has `can_autofix:true`, merge its `patch` into the args at `patch_target`. Unchanged retries repeat the block. New form: browse_catalog(type=schema) first. Also: mode=assemble merges existing slide job_ids as-rendered (free; theme_id does NOT re-theme them — render with create_deck(slides=[…], theme_id=…) for a unified theme); mode=fork clones a deck (free). Polling: deck_id == job_id — manage_account(action=job, job_id=). ``` ### `create_slide` - The name "create_slide" says "create": a word for a change. - The input takes a statement or command to run (input.code), which can change anything it can reach. - Findings: info long-description Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Create one PowerPoint slide (.pptx, native, editable) from a structured intent in ONE call: pick a `form` from the menu and put your content in the typed fields (placed on the slide as given), or pass a `brief` and let the server route it. Fields tagged (per-form) bind only where the form has that slot — ignored-with-warning elsewhere; see each form's `binds` in browse_catalog. BLOCKED (not billed)? If an error has `can_autofix:true`, merge its `patch` into the args at `patch_target`. Unchanged retries repeat the block. New form: browse_catalog(type=schema) first. FORM MENU: agenda_list: an ordered list of sections/topics or learning objectives to walk through bar_rank_chart: bars comparing magnitudes across categories calendar_grid: events on a real calendar - week planner (day x hour) or month grid with event chips (data.events) card_grid: several equal, unordered peer blocks (features, options, pillars, a concept's defined parts, rules/guidelines/common mistakes) case_story: one named story told as evidence, proven by measured results (data.results = figures) comparison_matrix: options x criteria grid: data.columns x data.rows cycle_flow: a closed loop of ordered stages where the last feeds the first (recurring process) data_table: a plain factual table of records by fields editorial_split: two side-by-side halves: contrast (before/after, problem/solution) or copy/numbered steps beside a picture (image_src) exercise_prompt: an exercise/practice/discussion prompt: instruction + hints; optional problem items with blank answer boxes funnel: a quantity narrowing through ordered stages gantt_plan: tasks as bars across named periods on a schedule grid gauge_score: one score on a dial against a scale hero_statement: a statement slide: covers (title/image-led/exec), from->to/thesis-quote transitions, statement/contact/next-steps closings; supporting points -> takeaway_stack, contacts -> data.contacts, next steps -> data.next_steps hub_spoke: one central element with several elements connected around it image_story: a picture shown WHOLE (uncropped) + prose and up to 4 labelled blocks beside it, or a 1-6 picture/placeholder gallery (data.images) kpi_metrics: a metrics dashboard: headline metric cards; data.sections (Highlights/Risks/Asks) makes it an exec summary / QBR snapshot layer_stack: stacked layers where higher sits on, and depends on, lower linear_flow: ordered process stages read left to right (or inputs to process to outputs) maturity_staircase: ascending levels climbing to a higher state nested_magnitude: nested containment - each level contains the next org_structure: a reporting hierarchy / org tree position_map: items placed by two axes - named 2x2 cells or scatter positions pyramid_hierarchy: a triangle of stacked tiers, foundation to apex ramp_curve: a continuous rising wedge split into phases - effort or value accumulating over time section_divider: a section-break: big section number + title; blocks = agenda progress chips (emphasis=primary = current) segment_wheel: a wheel of equal segments around a center - peer categories in the round (composition, not flow) status_dashboard: initiatives/workstreams tracked by status, owner, progress strategic_fork: one origin splitting into two mutually exclusive paths, one recommended swimlane_flow: actor/function lanes by phases, task cells, handoffs across lanes swot: the four-quadrant strengths / weaknesses / opportunities / threats grid system_flow_map: architecture/system components: panels with internals (edges optional) or nodes wired by directed arrows takeaway_stack: a title plus a few supporting points, each with one line of detail (executive summary, key findings); optional closing ask timeline_roadmap: milestones/phases laid out along a time axis trend_chart: one or more series plotted over time value_chain: support bands over primary activity columns flowing into a goal arrowhead (data.supp… [704 more characters not shown] ``` ### `plan_slide` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Plan a PowerPoint slide before rendering (free): send a short brief, get ranked candidates + a separated verdict — route (which slide: selected|needs_confirmation|ambiguous), input (can it render: ready|extractable_from_brief|needs_structured_data) and next_action. Free (one embedding). Then call create_slide with the chosen form(+variant). route.confidence: calibrated = measured P(route correct) with label high/medium/low cut on it; retrieval_score/retrieval_margin = the raw family-aggregated classifier values (not probabilities; margin can be negative when families contest); source = jev (calibrated router, took the route at >=0.9) | classifier | structural_router (LLM-rescued). candidate_margin on the top candidate = literal gap between the two shown scores. ``` ### `translate_deck` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Translate a PowerPoint (.pptx) deck preserving all formatting. Supports 35 languages (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Korean). Provide job_id (from a previous create_slide/create_deck), pptx_url, or pptx_base64. ``` ### `upload_asset` - The name "upload_asset" says "upload": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Upload assets for PowerPoint (.pptx) generation: company template, logo, image, or document — or AI-generate an image. Purposes: • logo — company logo for chrome (PNG/JPG/SVG, max 5MB) → logo_id • image — image for the Image component (max 10MB) → asset_id • theme — company template PPTX → theme_id; slides with it render NATIVELY on the template (masters/layouts/chrome) • generate_image — AI-generate via `prompt` → asset_id • translate — PPTX to translate → deck job_id (requires `target_language`) • pdf — PDF → editable slides; pass `target_language` to also translate • recreate — image OF a slide → editable PPTX slide (honest annotate/preserve fallback). Use `image` to just place a picture Files >3MB (pdf/translate/theme) — and recreate on chat hosts — omit `data`: a drop-zone appears in the result card; bytes never pass through the agent. ``` ## Only reads (1) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `browse_catalog` - The name "browse_catalog" says "browse": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Browse the PowerPoint slide catalog progressively. No args -> form overview (when-to-use, bound fields, variant counts). family=
-> variant one-liners. q= -> ranked search. variant=/prior_id= -> example payload. type=schema + family -> a compact family-level variant chooser (not a sendable contract); type=schema + family + variant -> that variant's exact payload contract (JSON Schema, capacity, field mapping, examples). Free. Code path: type=widgets = the add_widget() catalog (name= for its contract + thumbnail); type=helpers = python-pptx helper signatures. type=themes + an uploaded theme_id -> that template's branded FURNITURE layouts (its own cover/agenda/divider/closing slides + fill schemas + previews) — render via create_slide(form=template_layout, theme_id, data={layout, fills}). ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `slideforge`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__slideforge__browse_catalog" ], "ask": [ "mcp__slideforge__plan_slide", "mcp__slideforge__create_slide", "mcp__slideforge__create_deck", "mcp__slideforge__translate_deck", "mcp__slideforge__upload_asset" ], "deny": [ "mcp__slideforge__edit_slide", "mcp__slideforge__edit_deck", "mcp__slideforge__manage_account" ] } } ```
