Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill allows AI agents to send and receive faxes programmatically using the Telnyx API. It provides functionality for composing fax documents from various sources (files, strings) and sending them to specified recipients. The skill also handles receiving incoming faxes and extracting their content.
When to use it
- Automating outbound fax communication for businesses needing to send contracts or legal notices.
- Receiving and processing inbound faxes in a document management system.
- Integrating fax functionality into an existing AI-powered workflow, such as order confirmation or appointment reminders.
- Sending automated reports or notifications via fax when other channels are unavailable.
Key capabilities
- Send faxes from files (PDF, image formats).
- Send faxes from strings of text.
- Receive incoming faxes.
- Extract content from received faxes.
- Utilizes the Telnyx API for fax transmission and reception.
Example prompts
- "Send a fax to 555-123-4567 containing the file 'contract.pdf'."
- "Receive any incoming faxes and save them as PDF files."
- "Compose a fax with the text 'Please confirm receipt' and send it to 555-987-6543."
Tips & gotchas
- Requires an active Telnyx account and API key for authentication.
- Ensure your AI agent has appropriate permissions to access files or data sources used in fax composition.
