Arcade.dev LLM tools for Microsoft PowerPoint
8tools
The Microsoft PowerPoint toolkit lets LLMs create, edit, and read PowerPoint presentations stored in OneDrive via the Microsoft Graph API.
Capabilities
- Presentation creation: Create new presentations in OneDrive with a title slide.
- Slide authoring: Append standard slides (with optional title/body) or two-column
TWO_CONTENTlayout slides for comparisons and side-by-side content. - Speaker notes management: Read notes from a single slide or all slides at once, and write/update notes on any slide — with Markdown formatting support (bold, italic, underline, bullets, nested bullets).
- Content extraction: Convert an entire presentation to Markdown, preserving text, tables, and chart data; images and media appear as placeholders.
- Large file handling: Uploads for presentations over 4 MB automatically use a resumable session; concurrency protection (etag) is best-effort in that mode due to Microsoft Graph API limitations.
- User context: Retrieve information about the authenticated user and their PowerPoint/OneDrive environment.
OAuth
This toolkit uses OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft provider. See the Arcade Microsoft auth provider docs for setup details.

Behavior
| Tool name | Description | Secrets | |
|---|---|---|---|
Create a new PowerPoint presentation in OneDrive.
The presentation will be created with a title slide containing the specified title. | |||
Append a new slide to the end of an existing PowerPoint presentation in OneDrive.
The slide will be added at the end of the presentation. Both title and body
are optional to support layouts like BLANK or TITLE_ONLY.
For presentations larger than 4 MB, the upload uses a resumable session.
Concurrency protection (etag check) is best-effort in that case, since
Microsoft Graph upload sessions do not support If-Match headers. | |||
Append a TWO_CONTENT slide with side-by-side content areas to a PowerPoint presentation.
This layout is useful for comparisons, pros/cons lists, or any content that
benefits from a two-column layout.
For presentations larger than 4 MB, the upload uses a resumable session.
Concurrency protection (etag check) is best-effort in that case, since
Microsoft Graph upload sessions do not support If-Match headers. | |||
Get all speaker notes from every slide in a PowerPoint presentation.
Returns notes for all slides in one call, which is more efficient than
calling get_slide_notes for each slide individually. Notes are returned
in markdown format. | |||
Get the content of a PowerPoint presentation as markdown.
This tool downloads the presentation and converts it to a markdown representation,
preserving text content, tables, and chart data. Images and other media are
represented as placeholders. | |||
Get the speaker notes from a specific slide in a PowerPoint presentation.
Speaker notes are returned in markdown format, preserving basic formatting
like bold, italic, and bullet points. | |||
Set or update the speaker notes on a specific slide in a PowerPoint presentation.
Notes can be formatted using markdown:
- **bold** for bold text
- *italic* for italic text
- __underline__ for underlined text
- Lines starting with - or * become bullet points
For presentations larger than 4 MB, the upload uses a resumable session.
Concurrency protection (etag check) is best-effort in that case, since
Microsoft Graph upload sessions do not support If-Match headers.
- Indent with spaces for nested bullets | |||
