How do I connect Google Slides?

Open Google Slides in ApexGenius Connections, choose Connect, and sign in with the Google account that can open your presentations.

Which decks can my AI read?

Any presentation the connected Google account can open. Give your AI the link, or let it find the deck with Google Drive.

Can my AI change a deck?

Yes, with the edit tool, which is marked destructive because it can delete slides. Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.

Can my AI create a new deck?

Not with the Slides tools. Connect Google Drive, which can create a new presentation.

Will this list of tools change?

Google publishes the Slides MCP tools, and ApexGenius reads Google’s live list on every search. This page shows the list as of its review date.

Current governance

Know the account, tools, and result.

ApexGenius keeps the selected context and current tool surface visible, then records supported write activity for review.

Authorized context

The connected Google account decides which presentations can be read and changed.

Current tool surface

The edit tool can delete slides and is marked destructive. Keep it off unless you need it.

Reviewable activity

Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.

Disconnecting stops future access. It does not undo a change; use the deck’s version history.

Why a gateway

4 operations. Three tool definitions.

Your AI starts with three ApexGenius gateway tools. It discovers the Google Slides operations available to its authorization when a task needs them, then runs the selected operation through the gateway.

One saved provider connection

Connect Google Slides to ApexGenius, then authorize each AI client to use the saved connection with its own tool permissions.

Scoped per agent

Give one client read-only and the write operations never appear in its tool list at all.

Every call on the record

Which agent asked, what ran, and whether it succeeded, kept per connection for review.
