Beautiful.ai MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Update slide text in Beautiful.ai

beautiful_ai_update_slide_text
Read-onlyIdempotent

Update slide text in the user's own Beautiful.ai account from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent. Returns how to do it in Beautiful.ai step by step (screens, buttons, fields) and opens nothing by itself; then do it with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's Beautiful.ai Cloud Browser. Beautiful.ai's official API: Beautiful.ai has an API that creates presentations from a structured outline and an official MCP connector that creates draft decks, lists presentations and exports PDF or PowerPoint (checked 11 Oct 2026).

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description reinforces this with the important disclosure that the tool 'opens nothing by itself' — critical given a name implying a write. It also specifies the return shape ('screens, buttons, fields') and even a verification date, adding value beyond the annotations. It does not mention authentication, quota costs, or what happens if the user has no Cloud Browser session, which keeps it from a 5.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The purpose and the instruction-not-execution disclosure are front-loaded and tight. The closing paragraph on Beautiful.ai's official API and MCP connector is noticeably longer than the rest and ends without a decision rule, so it consumes space without telling the agent what to do differently. It informs but does not direct.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter, read-only guidance tool with no output schema, the description covers what it returns, that it has no side effects, and which tools to use next — enough to call it correctly. The one unanswered question is scoping: with no inputs, how the step-by-step guidance is tailored to a specific deck or slide is left implicit.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With zero parameters and 100% schema coverage there is nothing for the description to disambiguate per-parameter, so the baseline of 4 applies. The description adds no parameter-level information but none is needed. A residual gap is that it never explains how the tool knows which presentation or slide the guidance targets, given there are no inputs.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The first sentence names the verb and resource ('Update slide text in the user's own Beautiful.ai account') and the second immediately clarifies the actual nature of the tool: it 'Returns how to do it in Beautiful.ai step by step' rather than performing the edit. That resolves the ambiguity a name like 'update_slide_text' would otherwise create, and it distinguishes itself from the official Beautiful.ai MCP connector. It falls short of 5 only because the lead sentence still reads as if the tool itself mutates the deck.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives an explicit activation context ('from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent') and a concrete follow-through: 'then do it with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's Beautiful.ai Cloud Browser.' That is real routing guidance to the browser siblings. What is missing is an exclusion — it never says when to prefer the official Beautiful.ai MCP connector or cotlet_app_guide over this tool, despite raising those alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
