Canva

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Export canva design

Example prompts

• “/canva”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Access tokens expire after about 4 hours; the credential flow handles refresh, but re-run auth if calls start failing.
2. 2Exports are async: export returns a job id, then poll export-status with backoff until the status is success. Download URLs expire, so…
3. 3Confirm with the user before creating designs, uploading assets, running exports, or deleting anything: each burns Canva usage or changes…
4. 4Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Canva loads about 827 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 223 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~44

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~827

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
