Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🟢convert_pdf_url(url)
Convert a PDF available at a public HTTP or HTTPS link into Markdown for reading, research or a coding project. Returns extracted text, page and table counts, and whether scanned pages were found. No OCR, private links or local files. The reply is limited to 20,000 Markdown characters and marks longer results as excerpts; the whole PDF uses the API page allowance.
