The only slug we've canonically seen summoned by Tsunade during the length of the Manga is Katsuyu.
However, it stands to reason that Tsunade did not become the Slug Princess from only being able to summon one slug. One would also think that if all Tsunade had in her arsenal was 1 slug that Katsuyu would have been killed long ago.
We know that Tsunade got the princess moniker from being the granddaughter of the first hokage and the grandniece of the second hokage. However, it would seem unlikely that she got the slug part from simply Katsuyu. After all Jiraiya was not the toad sage just because of Gamabunta and Orochimaru wasn't referred to a snake just because of Manda.
Four other slugs have appeared in the manga.
I won't argue that Tsunade can summon the six-tails as that would meet great disapproval (though I will add most people would've turned their nose up to the idea of Obito summoning the nine tails before Tobi was revealed to be Obito). And so far as we know, even if it weren't so unpopular as an idea the six tails has been sealed the vast majority of the time. Also controlling it would be another issue. Especially, given the boastful way in which the six-tails refers to itself. So we will agree for the sake of argument that Tsunade cannot summon the six tails. However, we will use the abilities of the six tails in combination with the abilities of Katsuyu to try and reason on what the other slugs may possibly be able to do.
The slug seen in chapter 4 is obviously smaller than Katsuyu but is still rather large.

[/SPOILER] Which would explain why Katsuyu seemingly comes out more often in times of crises. Given the defensive nature of Defensive nature of Katsuyu it may be possible that other such summons are not so defensive in nature but rather are offensive. Due to Sakura's appearance on the slug, it would seem that this slug was intended to be a summon.
The slug seen in chapter 153 with a young Tsunade is a bit larger than the child version of herself.
. Based on how we've seen Gamabunta and other toads grow to great sizes it is likely that this slug is likely much larger than it was at the time Tsunade was a child. Furthermore, we can tell it is different from Katsuyu and the slug from chapter 4 based on the pattern on it's back. Due to this slug being directly under Tsunade we can be pretty confident in saying that this is one of Tsunade's summons.
The final slug that will be mentioned is the tiny slug on chapter 162.
. At first glance this slug looks like a mini of the slug from chapter 4. But noting the difference of the bottom side of the slug we can determine that these slugs are indeed different. Which leaves three possibilities. Either the slug is a baby, it is a mini, or it is just a small slug. The latter seeming the most unlikely of all possible outcomes. Also due to its positioning, context clues point to this slug being a summoning.
Ok so let's say we all agree that Tsunade has the slugs as her summons. What abilities might they possess?
Now we are away that some slugs are indeed poisonous even in the real world. So it is possible that the 6 six tails here was releasing a toxin.
Which would fit with Shizune's ability. Of spitting poison covered needles and poison fog.
And it would fit with Tsunade being a master of poisons and antidotes.
The six tails posses an ability very similar to that of Katsuyu.
Based of the real life ability of slugs to spit up digestive acid.
