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 A, and why

pdf-to-pptx scanned grade A with 0 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 9d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PDF to PPTX

Use the slideforge MCP server to convert a PDF into a fully editable PowerPoint deck. Vector extraction — each page becomes a slide where every element is independently editable.

When to trigger

Any request to convert, turn, transform, or extract a PDF into PowerPoint. Examples:

  • "Convert this PDF report into an editable PowerPoint deck"
  • "Turn this 40-page research paper into slides"
  • "Extract the slides from this investor PDF so I can edit them"

Tools used

  • upload_asset with purpose=pdf — uploads and triggers extraction
  • manage_account with action=job — poll for completion + download URL

Workflow

1. Upload the PDF

{
  "purpose": "pdf",
  "data": "<base64-encoded .pdf>",
  "filename": "report.pdf"
}

Returns a job_id. Alternatively, pass a public URL if the user has one.

2. Wait for extraction

Typical speed: ~112-page deck converts end-to-end in ~18 seconds. Poll with:

{"action": "job", "job_id": "<from step 1>"}

Or include a preview inline by setting include_preview: "default" in the upload call (waits then embeds).

3. Deliver

Download via header-auth: GET /v1/jobs/<job_id>/pptx with Authorization: Bearer sf_live_YOUR_KEY (ownership-checked). To hand off a shareable link instead, POST /v1/jobs/<job_id>/download-url mints a short-TTL, single-use, revocable one. The output is a real .pptx — every shape, text block, and image is individually editable in PowerPoint.

What gets extracted cleanly

  • Vector shapes (lines, rectangles, curves)
  • Text with font, size, colour, alignment preserved
  • Tables as PowerPoint tables
  • Images embedded natively
  • Page layout, positioning, z-order

Known limits

  • Only PDFs exported from a slide tool (PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, Canva, LaTeX Beamer, etc.) are supported today — the upload returns a 422 for anything else. Scanned, image-only, and text-document PDFs are not supported yet.
  • Complex SmartArt or animations from the original source (if it came from PPTX → PDF) don't round-trip
  • Very dense CAD-style PDFs may hit shape-count limits

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.
