Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

google-slides 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.

Google Slides Operations

When to use

  • Create/read/edit native Google Slides presentations
  • Build pitch decks, reports, or meeting slides in Slides
  • Add slides, text, shapes, or images to presentations
  • Read slide content for summarization or analysis

When NOT to use

  • .pptx files → use the built-in Cowork pptx skill (not part of this plugin)
  • Google Docs → use the google-docs skill (included in this plugin)
  • Google Sheets → use the google-sheets skill (included in this plugin)

Available tools

Tool Purpose
slides_create Create new presentation
slides_get Read metadata + slide list (titles, object IDs, count)
slides_get_content Read full text/table content from a specific slide
slides_add_slide Add slide with predefined layout
slides_update Apply batchUpdate requests (insertText, createShape, etc.)
slides_insert_image Insert image from public HTTPS URL

Critical rule: read before write

ALL write operations (slides_add_slide, slides_update, slides_insert_image) require a prior slides_get call for the same presentation_id. This is server-enforced — skipping it produces a ReadBeforeWriteError. The read must have occurred within the last 5 minutes.

Key patterns

Create a presentation from scratch

  1. slides_create(title) → get presentation_id and first slide's objectId
  2. slides_get(presentation_id) — required before writes
  3. slides_update(presentation_id, [{insertText: {objectId, text, ...}}]) — add title text
  4. slides_add_slide(presentation_id, layout="TITLE_AND_BODY") — add content slides
  5. slides_get(presentation_id) — refresh slide list to get new object IDs
  6. slides_update(presentation_id, [...]) — populate content

Read and summarize a presentation

  1. slides_get(presentation_id) — get slide count and titles
  2. For each slide: slides_get_content(presentation_id, slide_index) — get full text
  3. Summarize content for user

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.
