create_presentation
Create Presentation
Creates a new blank Google Slides presentation with a given title. Returns the presentation ID, title, and URL that can be used to access or further modify the presentation.
Supported Tools
add_image
Add Image
Inserts an image onto a slide from a public URL, or replaces all shapes matching a text pattern with an image across the presentation. The direct insert mode places an image at a specific position and size, while the replace mode is useful for template-driven image insertion.
manage_slides
Manage Slides
Create, duplicate, reorder, or delete slides within a presentation. Supports specifying a predefined layout (e.g. BLANK, TITLE, TITLE_AND_BODY) or a custom layout ID when creating slides. Use one action at a time.
replace_text
Replace Text
Performs bulk find-and-replace of text across an entire presentation. Ideal for filling in templates that use placeholder patterns like `{{name}}`, `{{date}}`, etc. Supports multiple replacements in a single call.
get_presentation
Get Presentation
Retrieves the full structure of a Google Slides presentation including all slides, page elements, masters, and layouts. Use this to inspect the presentation's content before making modifications.
add_shape
Add Shape

batch_update
Batch Update

manage_speaker_notes
Manage Speaker Notes
Read or update the speaker notes for a specific slide. When reading, returns the current notes text. When updating, replaces the entire notes content with the provided text.
edit_text
