PDF.co

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

The skill is a coherent PDF.co integration that uses Maton credentials and third-party PDF processing, with no artifact-backed hidden or deceptive behavior found.

Install or use this skill only if you trust Maton and PDF.co with the PDFs you process. Keep the MATON_API_KEY private, confirm any edit/delete action before it runs, and avoid sending confidential documents unless your policies allow third-party PDF processing.

Findings (3)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

Anyone or any agent with the Maton API key can make PDF.co-related requests through this integration within the connected account context.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a user API key to make authenticated requests. This is expected for the integration, but it grants delegated access that should be handled carefully.

Skill content
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: ... Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
Recommendation

Store the MATON_API_KEY securely, do not paste it into shared chats or logs, and revoke/delete unused connections when no longer needed.

What this means

If used carelessly, the skill could alter generated PDFs or related PDF.co resources, but the documented workflow expects user confirmation first.

Why it was flagged

The skill exposes potentially mutating PDF operations, but the artifact explicitly requires approval before create, update, or delete calls, keeping the behavior purpose-aligned.

Skill content
Convert, merge, split, and edit PDFs with full document manipulation capabilities. ... All write operations require explicit user approval.
Recommendation

Before approving any write operation, verify the target document, selected connection, and intended output or deletion.

What this means

PDF URLs, document-processing requests, and extracted content may be handled by Maton and PDF.co rather than staying local.

Why it was flagged

Requests pass through a third-party gateway to PDF.co. This is disclosed and central to the skill, but it means document URLs, processing requests, and results may cross external service boundaries.

Skill content
Maton proxies requests to `api.pdf.co` and automatically injects your API credentials.
Recommendation

Use the skill only with documents you are allowed to send to those services, especially for invoices, contracts, or other sensitive PDFs.
