Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

edit-pdf scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

response = requests.post("https://agents.simplepdf.com", files={"file": f})

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SimplePDF - PDF Editor

Edit and fill PDF documents directly in the browser. Add text, signatures, checkboxes, images, and more.

From a URL

For public PDF URLs, use GET with the URL as a query parameter:

GET https://agents.simplepdf.com?url=https://example.com/form.pdf

For signed or sensitive URLs (e.g. presigned S3 links), use POST with a JSON body to keep the URL out of logs and browser history:

curl -X POST https://agents.simplepdf.com \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/doc.pdf?X-Amz-Signature=..."}'

Both return JSON with the editor URL and embed snippets.

From a file

Upload a PDF file to the API. For security and privacy, the file is stored temporarily (24 hours) then automatically deleted. The user has 24 hours to open the link. Once opened, the PDF is loaded into the browser and processed entirely client-side, so the tab can stay open indefinitely.

Shell

curl -X POST https://agents.simplepdf.com -F [email protected]

TypeScript

const form = new FormData();
form.append("file", new Blob([pdfBytes], { type: "application/pdf" }), "document.pdf");

const response = await fetch("https://agents.simplepdf.com", { method: "POST", body: form });
const { url } = await response.json();

Python

import requests

with open("document.pdf", "rb") as f:
    response = requests.post("https://agents.simplepdf.com", files={"file": f})

url = response.json()["url"]

Presenting the result to the user

Always present the url field as a clickable link. This is the primary way users will open the editor.

If you have access to a browser automation tool (e.g. agent-browser, Playwright, chrome-devtools MCP server), offer to open the url directly so the user can edit the PDF without leaving the conversation.

The iframe and react fields are for developers embedding the editor in a web application. Only present these when the user is building a web app.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
