CAPABILITY PROFILE
What the PDF.co integration exposes
The PDF.co Agent App exposes 8 provider-backed actions for productivity and design & media work. Its current contract lets an authorized agent get the current pdf.co account credit balance for the api key, merge multiple pdf urls into one pdf document, and compress a pdf url and return the generated compressed pdf file url. These operations are called through Working Machines as typed capabilities rather than through browser navigation or copied UI steps.
A connection uses API key. Before execution, the agent can inspect the selected action, its required fields, declared scopes, and expected output contract. Provider credentials remain inside the Working Machines runtime; the calling agent receives the capability and its structured result, not the underlying secret.
For reliable operation, start with the narrowest action that satisfies the task, resolve stable provider identifiers before changing state, and validate the returned object or status after execution. Availability still depends on the connected PDF.co account, granted provider permissions, workspace policy, region, plan, and upstream API behavior.

PROVIDER-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS
Jobs this Agent App can support
Inspect Get Account Balance
Get the current PDF.co account credit balance for the API key. Use this as a bounded discovery step, retain the returned identifier, and avoid expanding the read beyond the task's stated scope.
get_account_balanceControl Merge Pdfs
Merge multiple PDF URLs into one PDF document. Resolve the target first, present material changes for confirmation, and make retries idempotent where the provider supports it.
merge_pdfsVerify with Get Pdf Info
Read metadata, page information, and security details from a PDF URL. Compare the returned provider state with the intended outcome and preserve stable IDs or canonical links in the run record.
get_pdf_infoSAFETY BOUNDARY
Operate PDF.co with explicit limits
- Authorize PDF.co with API key and grant only the provider access required by the selected actions.
- 1 action is change-capable by name. Confirm the target identity and material parameters before allowing a write.
- Do not infer permission from catalog visibility. Workspace policy, connection identity, and upstream authorization still govern execution.
- No provider scope string is declared on the sampled actions. Verify the connected account's actual permissions in PDF.co rather than assuming unrestricted access.
- After a call, inspect the structured result and execution record before reporting that the PDF.co task completed successfully.
CONNECTION MODEL
API key
PDF.co API key sent with the x-api-key header. Sign in to the PDF.co dashboard to copy or create API keys: https://app.pdf.co/.
Working Machines stores provider credentials behind the execution boundary. An agent can use an authorized connection identity, but catalog discovery alone does not reveal OAuth tokens, API keys, or provider secrets.
