Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.03630 | $0.03630 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01815 | $0.01815 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00726 | $0.00726 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00363 | $0.00363 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-server-powerpoint copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Critical Files (Read These First)
ALWAYS read when working on code:
- Critical Rules - mandatory rules (Success flag, COM cleanup, TDD, session lifecycle)
- Architecture Patterns - layered architecture, command pattern, resource management
Read based on task type:
- Adding/fixing Core commands or COM interop → Architecture Patterns
- Writing tests → Testing Strategy
- MCP Server tool work → MCP Server Guide
Sister Projects
PowerPointMcp is one of a family of Windows-only, COM-interop MCP-server repos maintained by the
same author (sbroenne). The family currently includes:
mcp-server-excel(sbroenne/mcp-server-excel) — the authoritative architectural template for this entire family. Its layering (ComInterop → Core → Service → CLI/MCP Server), Unified Service Architecture, generator design, hand-written vs. generated tool split, COM cleanup discipline (Rule 22: everydynamicCOM object released viaComUtilities.Releasein afinallyblock), support/audit scripts (scripts/*.ps1), and CI Gate workflow are the reference design. When PowerPointMcp diverges from Excel, treat the divergence as a bug to fix unless there is a concrete, documented reason the underlying Office object model differs (e.g. Excel'sApplication.ScreenUpdatinghas no PowerPoint equivalent — that divergence is legitimate and intentionally NOT ported).mcp-server-powerpoint(this repo) — PowerPoint automation, structurally mirrors Excel's 10-project layout and Unified Service Architecture.mcp-windows— a sister Windows-automation MCP server project.
When making architectural changes here, check whether Excel already solved the same problem —
port its pattern rather than inventing a new one. Likewise, if you fix a real bug or close a gap
here that also exists in Excel or mcp-windows, flag it so the same fix can be ported there.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mcp-server-powerpoint copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository sbroenne/mcp-server-powerpoint (19 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 3,630 tokens to every session, about $0.0181 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
