Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| create_presentationA | Create a new PowerPoint presentation from scratch. Accepts a JSON specification with slides, shapes, text content, and formatting. Supports text boxes, rectangles, ovals, images, and various text formatting options. Use this to create new presentations before using other tools to modify them. |
| extract_text_inventoryA | Extract structured text content from a PowerPoint presentation. Returns JSON with all text shapes, their positions, and formatting details. Useful for understanding presentation structure before making replacements. |
| apply_text_replacementsA | Apply text replacements to a PowerPoint presentation using a JSON specification. The JSON should map slide/shape IDs to new paragraph content with formatting. All text shapes are cleared unless explicitly provided with new content. |
| rearrange_slidesB | Rearrange slides in a PowerPoint presentation. Can duplicate, delete, and reorder slides based on a sequence of indices. Slide indices are 0-based. The same index can appear multiple times to duplicate. |
| create_thumbnail_gridA | Create visual thumbnail grids from PowerPoint slides. Useful for quick visual analysis of presentation structure and layouts. For large presentations, multiple grid images are created automatically. |
| unpack_office_documentA | Unpack an Office document (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx) to a directory. The XML files are pretty-printed for easy reading and editing. Use this to inspect or manually edit the raw XML structure. |
| pack_office_documentA | Pack a directory back into an Office document (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx). Removes pretty-printing whitespace from XML before packing. Can optionally validate the document before saving. |
| validate_office_documentA | Validate an unpacked Office document against XSD schemas. Checks XML well-formedness, namespace declarations, unique IDs, file references, content types, and schema compliance. Returns detailed error messages for any issues found. |

Scored across 8 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes focused on PowerPoint operations, but there is some overlap between pack_office_document and unpack_office_document with validate_office_document, as all three handle Office document file structures. However, their specific functions (packing, unpacking, validating) are clearly differentiated in descriptions, minimizing confusion.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case, such as apply_text_replacements, create_presentation, and extract_text_inventory. This uniformity makes the tool set predictable and easy to navigate for agents.
With 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for PowerPoint manipulation, covering creation, modification, extraction, and file handling. Each tool serves a clear purpose without redundancy, fitting the domain effectively.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for PowerPoint operations, including creation, text editing, slide management, and file handling. A minor gap exists in advanced formatting or animation tools, but core workflows are fully supported, allowing agents to perform most common tasks.
