Scored across 13 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation — conversions are named unambiguously by source/target pair (docx_to_epub, epub_to_pdf), while metadata read vs. edit, compress, merge, split, and validate occupy clearly separate slots. The only near-overlap (generate_cover vs. setting a cover in edit_epub_metadata) is disambiguated by descriptions, and upgrade_to_pro is obviously distinct as a billing helper.
Every name is snake_case and verb-led, with a highly predictable `source_to_target` pattern for conversions and consistent verb_noun for the rest (read/edit/validate/merge/split/compress/generate/upgrade). No mixed casing or stylistic drift.
Thirteen tools is well within the ideal band and each earns its place: a coherent conversion matrix plus format-utility operations plus one upsell helper. Nothing feels padded or missing at the count level.
The surface covers the core lifecycle thoroughly: ingest (docx/pdf/markdown → epub), egress (epub → pdf/markdown), plus metadata read/edit, compress, merge, split, validate, and cover generation. Minor gaps remain — no epub_to_docx/html, no dedicated image/asset extraction, and no batch operation endpoint — but nothing that blocks typical workflows.

Without a range the result is a base64-encoded ZIP archive holding one EPUB per chapter.
Free tier: 5MB/file (10MB for pdf-to-epub, 15MB for split), 3 operations/day, 15 req/min, output includes Epublys branding. Pro ($9/mo): 30MB per operation, unlimited daily operations, 60 req/min, no branding.

upgrade_to_proAInspect
Get a checkout link so the user can upgrade THIS account to Epublys Pro.
Call this when another tool is refused with daily_limited or a Pro-only error, or when the
user asks to upgrade. Returns a Stripe checkout URL to hand to the user — they complete payment
in their own browser.
Creates no charge by itself, and the link is bound to the account that owns the API key being used, so it cannot be used to pay for anyone else. If the account is already Pro it says so and returns no link. Needs an API key: without one it returns the pricing URL instead of a checkout link. Free: 3 operations/day, 5MB per file. Pro: unlimited daily operations, 30MB per operation, 60 req/min, no branding on output.
Inputs: plan.
validate_epubAInspect
