Tools (4)
🟢convert_url(url, filename_hint, quality_check)
Fetch a URL (web page, PDF, Office doc, and more) and convert it to Markdown. Works on publicly accessible URLs. Web pages are converted from their served HTML; JavaScript-rendered content may be incomplete. Optional filename_hint (e.g. "report.pdf") helps format detection when the URL has no file extension. The result carries a `quality` object (output-health check of the returned Markdown: status review / no_issues_detected / not_evaluated, coverage and a list of issues with line locations). quality_check="basic" (default) runs only local deterministic checks. quality_check="ai" additionally sends selected excerpts of the CONVERTED text to TypeSafe for narrow yes/no judgments (garbled text, hard-wrapped prose, broken tables); it is off unless requested. No check compares against the source document.

}⚪convert_base64(content_base64, filename, quality_check)
Convert base64-encoded file contents to Markdown. filename is required and drives format detection (e.g. "report.docx"). Intended for programmatic MCP clients; for anything with a URL, prefer convert_url. quality_check: "basic" (default) attaches local output-health checks in the `quality` field; "ai" additionally sends selected excerpts of the converted text to TypeSafe for narrow yes/no judgments. See convert_url.
