Strings Extractor
extract_stringsRead-onlyIdempotent
List the readable text inside any file, given as base64, at most 2,000,000 bytes: runs of ASCII and UTF-16LE characters (UTF-8 on request) at least min_length long, with byte offsets. Labels each string by shape as a URL, email, IP address, file path, key or token, or other, and counts every kind across the whole file; the list can be narrowed by kind or text and holds up to 2,000 strings in file order. Pure standard library, no network or model.
