Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Output file path must be writable — agents must manage filesystem paths
- ⚠ Slide layouts and masters from templates may not be preserved correctly
- ⚠ Charts require data in specific format — agents must provide structured data
- ⚠ Image positioning uses EMU (English Metric Units) — coordinate math required
