The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
create_slides ~250
Create slides. IMPORTANT: Use mode=default unless the user explicitly chose token_saver. mode=default = AI writes full HTML (best quality). mode=token_saver = AI sends JSON, server uses basic templates. REQUIRES discover_themes first AND user must have confirmed the data outline. After this tool saves the HTML, you MUST show the htmlPath as a code preview artifact. Then STOP and ask the user to confirm. DO NOT call render_slides until the user explicitly confirms.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| brandName | string | – | Brand name for branded themes |
| height | number | – | Custom height px (only with orientation=custom) |
| html | string | – | Full HTML document (mode=default only) |
| mode | string | yes | default = AI writes full HTML (more tokens, full control). token_saver = AI sends JSON, server assembles HTML (fewer tokens). |
| orientation | string | – | Preset or custom. Default: portrait |
| slides | array | – | Structured slide data (mode=token_saver only) |
| theme | string | yes | Theme from discover_themes |
| width | number | – | Custom width px (only with orientation=custom) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
discover_themes ~98
MANDATORY first step — all other tools REJECT until this is called. Returns themes, orientation presets, token-usage modes, and output formats. Use ONLY the native selector prompts from the "ask" array — DO NOT render themes as a separate markdown list. DO NOT ask how many slides (you decide based on topic). After user picks options, show a data outline of proposed slides and WAIT for confirmation before calling create_slides.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
edit_slides ~343
Token-efficient partial edits on a previously-generated HTML deck. Use this INSTEAD of regenerating the whole deck for small changes — it saves 60-90% tokens vs a full rewrite. Operations: replace_slide (swap one slide block by 1-indexed slideIndex), patch_css (append CSS rules to <style>), swap_token (replace a CSS variable's value, e.g. {"--coral": "#FF0000"}), patch_class (add/remove a class on a specific slide, e.g. {"add": "dark"}). Reads from cache or htmlPath; saves the updated HTML and returns the new htmlPath. After editing, show the htmlPath as a preview artifact and STOP — do NOT call render_slides until the user confirms.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| htmlPath | string | – | Path to HTML to edit. Falls back to cached HTML from last create_slides call. |
| operation | string | yes | Edit operation: replace_slide swaps one slide block; patch_css appends CSS rules to <style>; swap_token replaces a CSS variable's value; patch_class adds/removes a class on a slide. |
| payload | – | yes | For replace_slide: the new <div class="slide">...</div> HTML string. For patch_css: a CSS rules string. For swap_token: an object {tokenName: newValue}, e.g. {"--coral": "#FF0000"}. For patch_class:… |
| slideIndex | integer | – | 1-indexed slide position. Required for replace_slide and patch_class. Omit for global ops (patch_css, swap_token). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
health_check ~22
Verify Puppeteer/Chromium can launch. Use when render fails.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_themes ~77
Idempotent read-only listing of all available themes (8+). Unlike discover_themes, this does NOT start a slide-creation workflow — call it any time the user asks "what themes are there?" mid-conversation. Returns the same tiered theme catalog (primary/secondary). Models MUST present every theme returned, never truncate.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
render_slides ~401
Final render to PDF/WebP/PNG/PPTX. Accepts html string OR htmlPath. Supports width, height, selector, scale, webpQuality, orientation, pptxMode, pptxFilename, slideRange. NEVER call render_slides in the same turn as create_slides. When the user provides an existing HTML file path, pass it as htmlPath and call this tool directly — no discover_themes or create_slides needed. For the full slide-creation workflow, REQUIRES both discover_themes AND create_slides first, and ONLY call AFTER user confirms the preview. Returns file paths on disk.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| formats | array | – | Output formats (default: [pdf]) |
| height | number | – | Height px (default: 675) |
| html | string | – | HTML string (prefer htmlPath to save tokens) |
| htmlPath | string | – | Path to saved HTML file (from create_slides). Falls back to cached HTML. |
| orientation | string | – | portrait=540x675, landscape=1920x1080 |
| outDir | string | – | Output directory override |
| pdfFilename | string | – | Custom PDF filename |
| pptxFilename | string | – | Custom PPTX filename |
| pptxMode | string | – | Default: image (pixel-perfect, preserves design, NOT editable). 'native' is opt-in for text-only export (selectable text but design is NOT preserved — looks broken). For true editable PPTX with shape… |
| scale | number | – | Device scale 1-6 (default: 4) |
| selector | string | – | Slide selector (default: .slide) |
| slideRange | array | – | Render slides N-M, 1-indexed |
| webpQuality | number | – | WebP quality 0-100 (default: 95) |
| width | number | – | Width px (default: 540) |
