- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - 0 of 38 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to tidybytetools/doc2md-lite).

  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 76/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 248 tokens (~248/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 3/100
  - Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 1 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-11-04 (score 79)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (1)

### `convert_to_markdown` (~248 tokens)

Convert PDF or HTML to Markdown

Turn a local text PDF or saved HTML file into clean Markdown.

Use this when you want to read, quote, summarize or index a document as text,
for example before RAG chunking or pasting into a prompt. Tables are kept as
Markdown tables. Do not use it for scanned PDFs or photos (there is no OCR),
for live web URLs (save the page as .html first), or when you only need the
tables as CSV data (use a PDF table extractor instead).

path: full path to a .pdf or .html file on this computer.
tables: PDF tables. "lines" (default) finds tables with border lines, "text" also tries
tables lined up by spaces, "off" gives plain text.
output_path: optional. If set, the Markdown is saved there and that path is returned.
An existing file at that path is replaced. If empty, nothing is written and the
Markdown text is returned.

Tables come back as Markdown tables. Scanned (image-only) PDF pages have no text and are skipped.

Input parameters:

- `output_path` (string)
- `path` (string, required)
- `tables` (string)

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)
