PDF Read/Write Toolkit

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward local PDF toolkit whose file access is user-directed and consistent with its stated purpose.

Install only if you are comfortable running local Python PDF-processing libraries on documents you choose. Avoid processing highly sensitive or untrusted PDFs/HTML in a privileged workspace, and remember that metadata extraction can print document metadata such as title and author.

Finding
The skill clearly performs filesystem reads on user-supplied PDF, HTML, Markdown, CSS, and output paths, but it does not declare any permissions. This creates a mismatch between documented capabilities and the security model, which can lead to unauthorized or overly broad file access if the runtime relies on declared permissions for enforcement or review.
