skills — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited skills (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Eight portmanteau tools. Each takes an operation string plus per-op parameters. Operation enums are typed Literal[...] so wrong strings fail at parse time.
Compose; don't hand-write a finished SVG. Place primitives, then let Inkscape derive the geometry — align / distribute for layout, apply_boolean to cut and merge, clone / tile_clone for repetition, run_live (no params) for filters and effects. Give everything a stable id as you create it, because ids are the handle for every later edit.
Look at what you made. inkscape_live(operation="rasterize") renders the doc, an element, or a region to PNG — read it back and judge the result instead of assuming.
Collaborate. When the target is ambiguous, ask the user to select it on canvas and read it with get_selection. When they ask where a setting is, open the dialog for them with apply_action("dialog-open", payload=...).

Load, convert, export, validate SVG and other vector files via the Inkscape CLI.
Operations: load | save | convert | info | validate | list_formats | batch_convert
Common pattern:
inkscape_file(operation="validate", input_path="...") — check before editinginkscape_file(operation="convert", input_path="...", output_path="...", format="pdf") — exportVector editing, booleans, tracing, path manipulation, optimization, layout, LPE, barcode/QR. 49 ops total.
Highlights: trace_image | generate_barcode_qr | apply_boolean | path_simplify | optimize_svg | scour_svg | render_preview | export_dxf | layers_to_files | text_to_path | align | distribute | lpe_add_corners | tile_clone
Ops that need an argument (they error rather than no-op if you omit it): align and distribute need operation_type — align takes left/hcenter/right and/or top/vcenter/bottom plus an optional anchor ("top", "hcenter vcenter", "top page"); distribute takes exactly one of hgap/left/hcenter/right/vgap/ top/vcenter/bottom. apply_boolean needs union/difference/intersection/ exclusion. measure_object needs object_id (use query_document for the whole drawing).
`optimize_svg` vs `scour_svg`: both run Inkscape's plain-SVG export, which strips the inkscape: namespace and so demotes layers to plain groups (reported as layers_demoted). scour_svg adds a real scour minification pass — use it when you want the file smaller, since plain-SVG export alone pretty-prints and often grows it.
Source of truth: InkscapeVectorOperation in mcp_tool_types.py.
Read-only inspection of SVG structure, quality, dimensions. Always call before mutating.
Operations: quality | statistics | validate | objects | dimensions | structure
Server/Inkscape status, help, diagnostics, version, extension discovery.
Operations: status | help | diagnostics | version | config | list_extensions | execute_extension
First step for any failure: inkscape_system(operation="diagnostics") — reports Inkscape reachability, config provenance, and D-Bus bridge state.
Discover and invoke any installed inkex extension.
Operations: list (with optional target substring filter) | describe (full param schema for one extension) | run (headless on a file) | run_live (on the running Inkscape document; pass wrapper_id to re-render in place)
Add/remove/recolor gradient stops, convert linear↔radial.
Operations: add_stop | remove_stop | set_stop_color | convert_to_linear | convert_to_radial | list_stops
Read and write Dublin-Core RDF metadata in the SVG's <rdf:RDF> block.
Operations: get | set_title | set_creator | set_description | set_rights | set_keywords
Drive a running Inkscape window via D-Bus + clipboard staging. Every edit is a normal undo entry.
Highlights: apply_action (any of ~1,070 Inkscape verbs) | list_actions (filtered) | get_selection | set_selection | insert_svg | edit_xml | path_edit | inspect_selection / inspect_layers / inspect_defs / inspect_view / inspect_pages / inspect_element | execute_inkex | rasterize (render doc/element/area to PNG so the agent can see the canvas)
payload is a JSON string when an op needs structured arguments. Full payload shapes in inkscape_mcp/reference/mcp-workflow.md (also exposed as resource://inkscape/mcp-workflow).
