ClawAudit verdict
research-paper-to-ppt-v2
research-paper-to-ppt-v1
Retrieves academic paper full text via a declared InfoX-Med API token and generates PPTX files locally; the token usage is transparently scoped to the paper-retrieval purpose with explicit fail-safe behavior when retrieval fails.
⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.
