Google Slides

Use this Caplet when an agent needs to inspect a deck, create a presentation, preview slides, or apply explicit layout and content changes to a known Google Slides file.

First Workflow

  1. Start from a presentation ID, presentation URL, or newly created presentation.
  2. Use presentations.get to inspect slide order, page element IDs, layouts, and existing text before planning edits.
  3. Use page reads or thumbnails when the user needs visual confirmation of a specific slide.
  4. Group text, image, layout, and styling changes into a deliberate presentations.batchUpdate request.

Operate Carefully

  • Presentations can contain private plans, customer material, or financial data. Inspect only the slides needed for the task.
  • presentations.batchUpdate changes live deck content and formatting. Confirm page IDs and element IDs before mutating.
  • This Caplet uses the restricted drive.file scope, so it is intended for Slides files the app created or files the user explicitly opens or grants to the app.
  • Use Google Drive for finding, sharing, copying, moving, trashing, or deleting presentation files.
