How is my Google authentication data stored?

Tokens are stored securely using your system's native keyring, such as macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Locker, or Linux Secret Service API.

Can I edit or create slides with this skill?

No, this skill is designed for read-only operations such as searching, fetching metadata, and text extraction.

Can I use slide URLs or just IDs?

Both are supported; the skill automatically extracts the required presentation ID from a full Google Slides URL.

Does this skill support personal Gmail accounts?

No, this skill currently requires a Google Workspace account; personal Gmail accounts are not supported.

Do I need to set up a full MCP server to use this?

No, this is a lightweight alternative that uses standalone Python scripts and direct OAuth authentication without requiring an MCP server.
