🟢 Read-only🟡 Write🔴 Delete⚪ Unknown
🟢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.

  "properties": {
    "url": {
      "title": "Url",

}
⚪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.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "content_base64": {
      "title": "Content Base64",
      "type": "string"
    },
    "filename": {
      "title": "Filename",
      "type": "string"
    },
    "quality_check": {
      "default": "basic",
      "title": "Quality Check",

  },

    "filename"
  ],
  "title": "convert_base64Arguments"
}
🟢list_supported_formats

List supported input formats, per-tier limits, and which features need Pro. Single source of truth — do not claim capabilities beyond what this returns.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {},
  "title": "list_supported_formatsArguments"
}
🟢usage_status

Check your tier and remaining conversions before burning a call.
