paul_clone_template_slide
ChatGPTClones a template or source slide with its native geometry, groups and effects. Supports content replacement and adaptation; source_slide_index identifies the original slide.
paul_compose_slide
ChatGPTCreates, inserts or replaces a complete editable slide from template components or new native objects. Copy specifications accept replacement texts; omitted sample text is cleared. Does not call another generative model.

paul_patch_slide
ChatGPTApplies precise native operations to an existing working slide, including changes to text, geometry, styling, images, charts and groups. Does not call another generative model.
paul_prepare_import

paul_read_code_context
ChatGPTReturns the same native JSON as Paul’s workshop, for either a workspace or a live published presentation. arguments selects slides/template_slides (1-based) and resources. Includes a native-object format guide, referenced layouts and masters, and catalogs of other resource IDs. Document overrides and target design remain separate. Does not execute code, call a model or modify a document.
paul_read_presentation
ChatGPTReturns a published presentation’s current revision and slide catalog, including manual edits. With slide specified, returns that slide’s full native objects.
paul_read_presentation_version
ChatGPTCompares a saved version with the current presentation. An optional slide_id returns exact historical and current native objects. Returns the source fingerprint and current revision required for restoration.
paul_read_slide
ChatGPTReturns a working slide’s native objects, including positions, sizes, text and fills. Element selectors restrict the returned detail.
paul_read_source_evidence
ChatGPTReturns complete text, table rows, chart values, units, relationships and speaker notes for up to four imported source slides, separately from target-template design.

ChatGPTReturns one target-template layout’s text and image slots, observed source-slide examples, palette and semantics.
paul_read_template_overview
ChatGPTReturns a compact catalog of target-template slides and layouts, deck semantics and its style profile.

ChatGPTReturns the working presentation’s current revision, slide identities and element counts; excludes detailed native objects.
paul_recolor
ChatGPTChanges the selected colors in native working-slide objects while preserving their geometry and editability.
paul_restore_presentation_version
ChatGPTRestores saved native objects for the requested slide IDs or the whole presentation. Requires the saved version’s source fingerprint and current revision. Preserves a pinned backup, checks edit permission and concurrent changes, and retains the conversation. Does not recompose slides.
paul_revise_presentation
ChatGPTModifies the same published presentation with live updates in Paul. Requires its current revision.
