Implementation Reference
- src/powerpoint/server.py:649-678 (handler)The handler logic for the 'save-presentation' tool. It retrieves the presentation object from the PresentationManager, determines the output file path, saves the presentation using the python-pptx library's prs.save() method, and returns a confirmation message.
elif name == "save-presentation": presentation_name = arguments.get("presentation_name") output_path = arguments.get("output_path") if not presentation_name: raise ValueError("Missing presentation name") if presentation_name not in presentation_manager.presentations: raise ValueError(f"Presentation not found: {presentation_name}") prs = presentation_manager.presentations[presentation_name] # Default output path if none provided if not output_path: output_path = f"{presentation_name}.pptx" file_path = os.path.join(path,output_path) # Save the presentation try: prs.save(file_path) except Exception as e: raise ValueError(f"Unable to save the {presentation_name}. Error: {e}") return [ types.TextContent( type="text", text=f"Saved presentation to: {file_path}" ) ] - src/powerpoint/server.py:343-361 (registration)Registers the 'save-presentation' tool in the list_tools handler, including its description and input schema requiring 'presentation_name' and optionally 'output_path'.
