MCP: say that indices are 0-based, return the editor's slide number, and refuse an index past the end everywhere - #990
An agent told "change slide 3" over MCP passed index: 3 and edited the slide the editor calls 4.
Every slide, section, animation and table index is 0-based while the editor counts from 1, and
nothing said so: the server instructions and tool descriptions said only "Slide index", inspect_document listed index 0..n with no displayed number, an index past the end answered
"no slide 8", and several commands (slide.hide, slide.duplicate, slide.layout, slide.selectSlides, transition.*, animation.clear, a PDF export's slides list) took an
index past the end and answered ok having done nothing, so an agent passing the editor's number
for the last slide was told it had succeeded.
Changes
Wording. The MCP tool descriptions, the server instructions and the command signatures that list_commands returns say "0-based" wherever an index is asked for (as reuse.rs already did),
and spell out "the editor shows index + 1" for slides.
number.document.inspect and slide.inspect return number (index + 1, what the
thumbnail pane shows) beside index. This is deliberately not Presentation::slide_number,
which adds the number printed on the slide and can start elsewhere in a .pptx.
Range in errors.cmd::out_of_range and cmd::no_slide_message word an index past the end
as no slide at index 8; indices run 0 through 7 (the editor shows index + 1). Used by every
slide command that takes an index (go, move, duplicate, delete, selectSlides, hide, layout,
reset, notes, rename, inspect, colorAt, transition.*, animation.clear, animation.get), file.render, file.export (png, gif and the PDF slides list), the headless render_slide
and the control channel's ui.render. Section and animation indices get the same shape of
message, naming the command that was run.
No clamping.slide.move, section.move and animation.move refuse a to past the end
instead of clamping it. The Animation Pane's Move Down and the section menus' Move Section Down
are disabled on the last item so they never ask for one (before, the clamp made them a quiet
no-op; without the guard they would put an error in the status bar).
Docs.docs/mcp.md gains a Numbering paragraph; docs/control-protocol.md notes ui.render's slide is 0-based.
Behaviour change to be aware of
file.export to PDF with a slidesarray used to drop indices past the end silently (a test
from #344 asserted this). It now refuses them like the string form ("1-3, 5"), PNG and GIF
already did, so a request for slides [0, 8] of an 8-slide deck no longer writes a PDF missing a
slide with an ok answer. The test was updated. Happy to revert that one hunk if the drop was
intentional.
Tests
Engine: slide.go past the end names the range; slide.move past the end is refused and
nothing moves; every slide command with an index past the end is refused, names the command and
changes nothing (hide, duplicate, layout, delete, selectSlides, transition.set/timing,
animation.clear, gif and pdf export); section indices and section.move {to}; number stays
index + 1 when first_slide_number is 5.
MCP: index parameters and the instructions say "0-based"; inspect_* report number;
out-of-range errors name the indices through tools/call; animation.move past the end is
refused.
UI: a kittest test right-clicks the last animation in the Animation Pane and checks Move Down is
disabled and nothing lands in the status bar.
deckcraft-cli's describe test now expects index (0-based) for slide.go.
Checked end to end over stdio JSON-RPC against the headless server and, in connected mode,
against the running app: a fresh agent given "change the title of slide 3, hide slide 8, move
slide 2 to the end" picked indices 2, 7 and from: 1, to: 7 from the instructions and number
alone; "move slide 9" and a PDF of slides 1, 2 and 9 were refused with the range and wrote
nothing.
cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -D warnings (engine, mcp, ui-egui), cargo test (engine, mcp,
cli), cargo xtask layers and cargo xtask assets pass. The ui-egui suite passes apart from replacefonts_tests::ribbon_button_opens_the_dialog_and_replaces, which fails identically on main here and is unrelated.
After review
CodeRabbit pointed out that usize_param answered None for -1, 1.5 or "1" just as for an
absent key, so a malformed index quietly acted on the current slide, and such an entry in a slides or indices list was dropped. Commit 7bfe7fa adds cmd::index_param, which tells absent
from malformed and refuses the latter (`index` must be a non-negative integer (a 0-based index), not -1) in every command above, in file.export's lists, in the headless render_slide and in ui.render; at (an insertion position) keeps its clamp, which docs/mcp.md now states. One test
covers all of them. The branch is also merged with main.
Part of #298 (the "index out of range names the range" bullet). Related: #236 (the same confusion in
the CLI, settled by #228), #359 and #361 (the CLI's fix).
Invalid or out-of-range slide, section, animation, export, and table-cell indices now return clear errors instead of being ignored, defaulted, or clamped. PDF exports reject invalid slide selections.
Render commands reject invalid supplied slide indices rather than falling back to the selected slide. Rejected operations leave document state unchanged.
Slide inspection shows both the zero-based index and displayed slide number.
Move-down options are unavailable for animations and sections already at the end; move operations reject destinations past the end.
Slide reuse rejects invalid source indices and malformed insertion positions.

Walkthrough
Commands and interfaces now validate slide, section, animation, and table indices and report valid ranges. Inspection returns zero-based indices and one-based displayed slide numbers. The UI disables downward moves for the final animation or section.
Changes: Index Validation and Display
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Shared range errors and command validation crates/engine/src/cmd.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/{slide,animation,transition,reuse,table,file}.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/inspect.rs, crates/engine/src/gif_export.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs, crates/mcp/src/tests.rs
Shared helpers format range errors. Commands validate slide, section, animation, export, and table-cell indices. Move commands reject destinations beyond valid ranges. Tests check errors and unchanged state.
Inspection returns zero-based indices and one-based displayed numbers. Render and export paths validate supplied indices and use shared range messages. Tests cover index reporting and invalid values.
Index conventions across interfaces crates/engine/src/cmd/{animation,slide,table,file}.rs, crates/mcp/src/{server,tools,tests}.rs, docs/{mcp,control-protocol}.md, apps/deckcraft-cli/tests/it/cli.rs
Command descriptions, MCP instructions and schemas, and documentation specify index conventions and boundary behavior. Tests check the descriptions and inspection results.
Disable moves past the final item crates/ui-egui/src/panels/{animation,thumbs}.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/sorter.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/animpane_tests.rs
The UI disables downward moves for the final animation or section. The animation test checks that the disabled action leaves the order unchanged.
The updated validation behavior and index guidance are aligned, with no established actionable merge risk remaining.
Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to 508ba
The changes make invalid targets fail explicitly and clarify which slide an operation addresses. Reviewed mutation paths preserve document and selection state on rejection, without adding capabilities or expanding access. No material security risk introduced or worsened by this PR was identified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The inspected changes affect target selection within the existing presentation session and its existing editing and rendering capabilities. Their propagation does not introduce a new authority boundary; the engine remains authoritative for document operations.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Caller-provided selection indices and table-cell lists are validated before committed target changes. The inspected MCP request loop processes a mutable backend sequentially, preventing interleaving of these operations within that session.

Review comments at @crates/engine/src/cmd/animation.rs:
- Around line 358-361: Update the index handling in the animation.clear flow so
an omitted index retains the current-slide fallback, while an explicitly
supplied invalid value returns a value error instead of clearing the current
slide. Use the existing parameter access and error conventions, and locate the
change by the animation.clear error context.
- Around line 254-260: Update the animation.remove index parsing to distinguish
an omitted index from an explicitly supplied value that usize_param cannot
parse. Reject the malformed explicit value before dispatching to index removal
or selected-shape removal, while preserving selected-shape targeting when index
is omitted.
Review comments at @crates/engine/src/cmd/file.rs:
- Line 288: Update the slide-list parsing in the PDF export flow to return an
error for negative or non-integer entries instead of dropping them with
`filter_map`. Validate each successfully parsed slide index against the
available range before exporting, so every requested entry is either exported or
causes the operation to fail.
Review comments at @crates/engine/src/cmd/slide.rs:
- Line 355: Update the `indices` parsing loop so it validates every supplied
value instead of silently discarding entries through
`filter_map(Value::as_u64)`. Return a parameter error if any value is negative,
non-integer, or cannot be represented as a slide index; preserve the existing
range validation for valid parsed indices.
- Around line 273-278: In move_slide, distinguish an omitted `from` parameter
from a supplied malformed value: use the selected slide only when `from` is
absent, and return an error when it is present but `usize_param` cannot parse
it. Preserve the existing handling of valid `from` and `to` values.
- Around line 242-248: Update the slide ID selection logic in the slide.delete
dispatch: when ids is absent and index is present, reject negative or noninteger
values with the existing invalid-index error instead of falling back to selected
or current slides. Preserve the fallback behavior only when index is omitted.
- Around line 180-188: Update index_of so omitted or null index values still
fall back to the current slide, but explicitly provided negative or noninteger
values return an error instead of selecting the current slide. Leave the
separate optional-index dispatch branches unchanged.
- Around line 190-192: In the optional-index dispatch branches of duplicate,
hide, and layout, distinguish an omitted index from a present but malformed one:
reject malformed explicit values using each command’s existing error
construction before applying the selected/current-slide fallback. Leave the
separate delete and move parameter handling unchanged.
Review comments at @crates/engine/src/cmd/transition.rs:
- Around line 47-52: Update slide_indices to distinguish an absent index from a
present index that usize_param cannot parse. Return the existing invalid-index
error for malformed values before applying the selected-slide or current-slide
fallback; preserve the fallback when index is omitted.
Review comments at @docs/mcp.md:
- Around line 101-103: Update the index-behavior wording around `section.add` to
distinguish out-of-range lookup indices, which return a range error without
changes, from `section.add`’s `at` slide placement index, which clamps to the
last slide.

Document that the string form of slides uses 1-based slide numbers.
The slides array form takes 0-based indices. The string range form ("1-3,5") goes to parse_slide_range. That function treats each number as a 1-based slide number: it rejects 0 and subtracts 1 (lo - 1..hi). docs/mcp.md now states that every index is 0-based, including "slides in export". If an agent follows that rule and passes "2-3" to mean indices 2 and 3, the export silently contains indices 1 and 2. A string such as "0-2" fails with an error.
Mark the range form as 1-based in this params string. Make the same change to the docs/mcp.md Numbering paragraph and the MCP export tool description.

file.export treats booleans, numbers, and objects passed as slides as omitted. This sets PdfOptions.slides to None, so PDF export uses the default slide set and can write output instead of returning an input error.
null and empty or whitespace-only strings currently act as omission defaults. Non-empty malformed range strings already return an error through parse_slide_range.

Some(Value::String(text)) if !text.trim().is_empty() => Some(parse_slide_range(text, count)?),

Review of storytold#990 found that `usize_param` answers `None` for `-1`, `1.5` or `"1"` just as for an

They now use upstream's `opt_usize_param` (which already guarded slide.duplicate, delete, hide,

animation.remove and animation.move.
- Around line 109-110: Update the cells parsing for table.cellFill,
table.borders, table.cellMargins, and table.cellAlign to reject non-array values
and validate every coordinate as a valid [row, col] pair before applying
selection fallback. Do not silently drop malformed entries; return an error
without applying the command when any coordinate is invalid.

- Around line 385-388: Update the `cells` parsing flow around `a.iter()` and
`cell_param` to reject entries unless each contains exactly two indices, rather
than accepting extra elements. Replace `.take(100_000)` truncation with
validation that rejects lists exceeding the limit, so every supplied entry is
checked before applying the target list.
- Line 388: Validate each explicit cell coordinate parsed by cell_param against
the target table’s row and column dimensions before applying any edits, and use
checked arithmetic wherever coordinates are incremented so out-of-range values,
including usize::MAX, are rejected without panicking or wrapping.
Review comments at @docs/mcp.md:
- Around line 109-110: Update the index documentation around the
non-negative-integer rule to clarify that null is treated as omitted, not
rejected. State that for slide.hide, an index of null falls back to the current
selection; keep the rejection behavior for non-integer values such as -1 and
1.5.

…, return the displayed slide number, and refuse an index past the end everywhere
An agent told "change slide 3" passed index 3 and edited the slide the editor calls 4: the server
instructions and every tool description said only "Slide index", inspect_document listed index
0..n with no displayed number, and an index past the end answered "no slide 8" or, for slide.hide,
slide.duplicate, slide.layout, slide.selectSlides, transition.*, animation.clear and a PDF export's
`slides` list, did nothing (or wrote a PDF without that slide) and answered ok. Now:
- The MCP tool descriptions, the server instructions and the command signatures list_commands
returns say "0-based" where an index is asked for, as reuse.rs already did; the editor's
"index + 1" is spelled out for slides.
- document.inspect and slide.inspect return `number` (index + 1, what the thumbnail pane shows;
Presentation::slide_number adds the number printed on the slide, which a .pptx can start
elsewhere) beside `index`.
- cmd::out_of_range and cmd::no_slide_message word an index past the end as "no slide at index 8;
indices run 0 through 7 (the editor shows index + 1)", naming the command that was run. Used by
every slide command that takes an index (go, move, duplicate, delete, selectSlides, hide, layout,
reset, notes, rename, inspect, colorAt, transition.*, animation.clear, animation.get), file.render,
file.export (png, gif and the PDF `slides` list, which used to drop them), the headless
render_slide and the control channel's ui.render. Sections and animations get the same shape of
message.
- slide.move, section.move and animation.move refuse a `to` past the end instead of clamping it;
the Animation Pane's Move Down and the section menus' Move Section Down are disabled on the last
item rather than asking for one.
- The CLI's describe test expects "index (0-based)" for slide.go.
- docs/mcp.md and docs/control-protocol.md say the same.
Part of storytold#298. Related: storytold#236, storytold#359, storytold#361 (the CLI's render --slide documented as 0-based).

An agent told "change slide 3" over MCP passed
index: 3and edited the slide the editor calls 4.Every slide, section, animation and table index is 0-based while the editor counts from 1, and
nothing said so: the server instructions and tool descriptions said only "Slide index",
inspect_documentlistedindex0..n with no displayed number, an index past the end answered"no slide 8", and several commands (
slide.hide,slide.duplicate,slide.layout,slide.selectSlides,transition.*,animation.clear, a PDF export'sslideslist) took anindex past the end and answered ok having done nothing, so an agent passing the editor's number
for the last slide was told it had succeeded.
Changes
list_commandsreturns say "0-based" wherever an index is asked for (asreuse.rsalready did),and spell out "the editor shows index + 1" for slides.
number.document.inspectandslide.inspectreturnnumber(index + 1, what thethumbnail pane shows) beside
index. This is deliberately notPresentation::slide_number,which adds the number printed on the slide and can start elsewhere in a .pptx.
cmd::out_of_rangeandcmd::no_slide_messageword an index past the endas
no slide at index 8; indices run 0 through 7 (the editor shows index + 1). Used by everyslide command that takes an index (go, move, duplicate, delete, selectSlides, hide, layout,
reset, notes, rename, inspect, colorAt, transition.*, animation.clear, animation.get),
file.render,file.export(png, gif and the PDFslideslist), the headlessrender_slideand the control channel's
ui.render. Section and animation indices get the same shape ofmessage, naming the command that was run.
slide.move,section.moveandanimation.moverefuse atopast the endinstead of clamping it. The Animation Pane's Move Down and the section menus' Move Section Down
are disabled on the last item so they never ask for one (before, the clamp made them a quiet
no-op; without the guard they would put an error in the status bar).
docs/mcp.mdgains a Numbering paragraph;docs/control-protocol.mdnotesui.render'sslideis 0-based.Behaviour change to be aware of
file.exportto PDF with aslidesarray used to drop indices past the end silently (a testfrom #344 asserted this). It now refuses them like the string form (
"1-3, 5"), PNG and GIFalready did, so a request for slides
[0, 8]of an 8-slide deck no longer writes a PDF missing aslide with an ok answer. The test was updated. Happy to revert that one hunk if the drop was
intentional.
Tests
slide.gopast the end names the range;slide.movepast the end is refused andnothing moves; every slide command with an index past the end is refused, names the command and
changes nothing (hide, duplicate, layout, delete, selectSlides, transition.set/timing,
animation.clear, gif and pdf export); section indices and
section.move {to};numberstaysindex + 1 when
first_slide_numberis 5.inspect_*reportnumber;out-of-range errors name the indices through
tools/call;animation.movepast the end isrefused.
disabled and nothing lands in the status bar.
deckcraft-cli'sdescribetest now expectsindex (0-based)forslide.go.against the running app: a fresh agent given "change the title of slide 3, hide slide 8, move
slide 2 to the end" picked indices 2, 7 and
from: 1, to: 7from the instructions andnumberalone; "move slide 9" and a PDF of slides 1, 2 and 9 were refused with the range and wrote
nothing.

CodeRabbit pointed out that
usize_paramansweredNonefor-1,1.5or"1"just as for anabsent key, so a malformed
indexquietly acted on the current slide, and such an entry in aslidesorindiceslist was dropped. Commit 7bfe7fa addscmd::index_param, which tells absentfrom malformed and refuses the latter (
`index` must be a non-negative integer (a 0-based index), not -1) in every command above, infile.export's lists, in the headlessrender_slideand inui.render;at(an insertion position) keeps its clamp, which docs/mcp.md now states. One testcovers all of them. The branch is also merged with
main.Part of #298 (the "index out of range names the range" bullet). Related: #236 (the same confusion in
the CLI, settled by #228), #359 and #361 (the CLI's fix).
