Get a presentation for editing

get_presentation
Read-onlyIdempotent

A presentation you can see, with every slide and every block (ids and complete props), in playback order. Use the ids to edit slides and blocks ("can_edit" says whether you may). Links to slides show both "slide" (id) and "slide_number". All of a presentation of 30 slides is a few hundred thousand characters: read a big one in parts -- "from_number" / "to_number" or "slide_ids", and "texts_only": true gives only the words of the blocks (html, tr, code), no geometry. Every slide has a "version": pass it as "base_version" when you change the slide.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
slugYesThe presentation's slug (its address: /movie/<slug>/).
slide_idsNoOnly these slides (ids).
to_numberNoOnly the slides up to this number (inclusive).
texts_onlyNoOnly the texts of the blocks (for reading, checking or translating), not their props.
from_numberNoOnly the slides from this number on (1-based).

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYes
urlNoThe address people open in a browser.
langNoThe language its texts are written in; "tr" holds the others.
slugYesThe address of the presentation: /movie/<slug>/.
ownerNoUser name of the author.
themeNo
titleYes
accessNoopen, public or private.
slidesYes
projectNoThe project it belongs to, or null.
versionNoStamp of the content as it is now: give it back as "base_version" to change it only if nobody else did meanwhile.
can_editNoWhether you may change it.
databaseNoSetup scripts of the databases of runnable code blocks (shown to the author only).
title_trNoThe same text in the other languages of the site: {"en": "..."}.
languagesNoThe languages of the site.
cover_slideNoId of the slide shown as its cover in the lists (null: an uploaded picture, or no slides).
descriptionNo
database_charsNoA part or the words only were read: how long each database script is (the whole presentation without "texts_only" gives them).
missing_translationsNoWhat is not translated yet into the other languages of the site (add it): the first ones; "missing_translations_count" says how many there are.
missing_translations_countNoHow many texts are not translated yet.

  12. First observed

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the description focuses on real behavioral traits: payload size (hundreds of thousands of chars for 30 slides), the pagination strategy, the texts_only reduction, and the optimistic-concurrency contract (slide version → base_version). That is genuinely beyond what annotations and schema convey.

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?

Front-loads the core payload description and the size warning well, but the sentences are long, run-on, and rely on awkward inline quoting; the base_version note about a different tool's parameter is buried at the end and could confuse.

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?

An output schema exists and annotations cover safety, so the description's remaining job — scale, pagination, texts_only, and versioning — is mostly done. The missing piece is disambiguation from sibling retrieval tools, which matters given how many overlapping getters exist.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so all five parameters are already documented with meaning. The description reinforces intent (from_number/to_number ranges, slide_ids, texts_only) but adds little syntax or semantics the schema lacks; the base_version linkage is useful but refers to a different tool's parameter.

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?

States a specific verb+resource and scope: returns every slide and block with ids and complete props in playback order. It's clear this is the full-detail retrieval tool for editing, but it never names the sibling it differs from (get_slides, get_slide, read_presentation), so the agent must infer the boundary.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Gives useful in-tool guidance — read big presentations in parts, use texts_only for reading/translating, pass the slide version as base_version when editing — but offers no explicit when-to-use-this-vs-alternative guidance against the many sibling retrieval tools. It also never says when *not* to call it (e.g., prefer get_slides for a few slides).

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