Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/powerpoint/server.py:490-508 (handler)

  The handler for the 'create-presentation' tool. It creates a new empty PowerPoint presentation instance using the pptx library and stores it in the PresentationManager's presentations dictionary for subsequent slide additions.

  elif name == "create-presentation":
  
      presentation_name = arguments.get("name")
      if not presentation_name:
          raise ValueError("Missing presentation name")
  
      # Create new presentation
      prs = Presentation()
      try:
          presentation_manager.presentations[presentation_name] = prs
      except KeyError as e:
          raise ValueError(f"Unable to add {presentation_name} to presentation. Error: {str(e)}")
  
      return [
          types.TextContent(
              type="text",
              text=f"Created new presentation: {presentation_name}"
          )
      ]

• src/powerpoint/server.py:46-60 (registration)

  Registers the 'create-presentation' tool in the list_tools handler, including its name, description, and input schema which requires a 'name' parameter.

  types.Tool(
      name="create-presentation",
      description="This tool starts the process of generating a new powerpoint presentation with the name given "
                  "by the user. Use this tool when the user requests to create or generate a new presentation.",
      inputSchema={
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
              "name": {
                  "type": "string",
                  "description": "Name of the presentation (without .pptx extension)",
              },
          },
          "required": ["name"],
      },
  ),

• src/powerpoint/server.py:50-60 (schema)

  Defines the input schema for the 'create-presentation' tool, specifying an object with a required 'name' string property.

      inputSchema={
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
              "name": {
                  "type": "string",
                  "description": "Name of the presentation (without .pptx extension)",
