The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
batch_modify_pdf_content Batch Modify Pdf Content ~163
Apply the same text replacements to multiple PDF files at once. Each file is processed independently -- a failure in one file does not stop the rest of the batch. Output files are written to ``output_dir`` using the same filename as the input.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| input_paths | array | yes | List of absolute paths to input PDF files. |
| max_file_size | integer | – | Maximum allowed input file size in bytes (default: 100 MB). |
| output_dir | string | yes | Directory where modified PDFs will be saved. |
| password | – | – | Optional password if PDFs are encrypted. |
| replacements | object | yes | Dictionary mapping old text to new text. |
| use_regex | boolean | – | If true, treat keys as regex patterns. |
| whole_span | boolean | – | – |

extract_embedded_fonts Extract Embedded Fonts ~129
Extract metadata and buffers of all embedded fonts in a PDF. Use this tool to inspect which fonts are actually embedded in a document. Custom fonts (TrueType, OpenType) appear as Type0 with their binary buffer. Base 14 system fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier) are NOT embedded and will not appear in the results.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| input_path | string | yes | Absolute path to the PDF file to inspect. |
| max_file_size | integer | – | Maximum allowed input file size in bytes (default: 100 MB). |

inspect_pdf_fonts Inspect Pdf Fonts ~199
Search for specific text terms and report their font properties. Use this tool to understand the exact font styling of text you want to replace. This ensures replacements will match the surrounding document style as closely as possible. The tool searches through all pages and returns matches with: - Page number where the term was found - The search term that matched - Surrounding context (first 100 characters) - Font name (e.g., "Helvetica-Bold", "Times-Roman") - Font size in points - Origin coordinates for precise positioning
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| input_path | string | yes | Absolute path to the PDF file to scan. |

modify_pdf_content Modify Pdf Content ~426
Find and replace text in a PDF while preserving font styles. This tool performs text replacement by: 1. Locating all occurrences of the search text 2. Redacting the original text (white fill) 3. Inserting the replacement text with matched styling IMPORTANT BEHAVIORS: - Text is matched within individual text spans - Font style is approximated using Base 14 fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier) - Replacement text should be similar length to avoid overlap - Multiple replacements can be specified in a single call HYPERLINK SUPPORT: - Append "|URL" to create a clickable link: "Click Here|https://example.com" - Use "|void(0)" to neutralize existing links: "Product|void(0)" REGEX SUPPORT: - Set use_regex=true to treat keys as regex patterns - Useful for matching dates, IDs, or variable content - Example: {"Order #\d+": "Order #REDACTED"} PAGE RANGE: - Use pages="1-3" to process only pages 1 through 3 (1-indexed, inclusive) - Use pages="5" to process only page 5 - Omit to process all pages
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| input_path | string | yes | Absolute path to the source PDF file. |
| max_file_size | integer | – | Maximum allowed input file size in bytes (default: 100 MB). |
| output_path | string | yes | Absolute path where the modified PDF will be saved. Parent directory must exist. |
| pages | – | – | Optional page range, e.g. "1-3" or "5". Defaults to all pages. |
| password | – | – | Optional password if the source PDF is encrypted. |
| replacements | object | yes | Dictionary mapping old text to new text. Keys are search strings (or regex if use_regex=true). Values are replacement strings (optionally with |URL). |
| use_regex | boolean | – | If true, treat replacement keys as regex patterns. Default is false for literal string matching. |
| whole_span | boolean | – | – |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | string | yes | – |

read_pdf_structure Read Pdf Structure ~173
Extract the complete structural content of a PDF document. Returns detailed information about each page including: - Page dimensions (width, height) - All text elements with their: - Exact text content - Bounding box coordinates (x0, y0, x1, y1) - Origin point for text insertion - Font name and size - Color value Use this tool FIRST to understand the document layout before making any modifications. The output helps identify exact text to target for replacements.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| input_path | string | yes | Absolute path to the PDF file to analyze. Must be a valid, accessible PDF file. |
| max_file_size | integer | – | Maximum allowed input file size in bytes (default: 100 MB). |
