Pandoc

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a normal Pandoc document-conversion skill with disclosed local-tool risks, not evidence of hidden or malicious behavior.

Install Pandoc and any PDF engines only from trusted sources. Use this skill for user-directed conversions, and be careful with untrusted documents or advanced options such as filters, templates, resource paths, media extraction, and HTML/CSS PDF engines that may load referenced resources.
