Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.4/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.
The two tools both convert HTML to PDF, which could cause initial confusion. However, the descriptions clearly differentiate them: one for standards-compliant documents, the other for JavaScript rendering and fillable forms. The 'wk' suffix is somewhat cryptic but explained.
Both tools follow an html_to_pdf pattern, with a '_wk' suffix for the second. This is fairly consistent, though the suffix is not intuitively descriptive and could be clearer.
With only two tools, the server is minimal but focused. For a specialized HTML-to-PDF service, this is reasonable, though slightly thin for broader PDF operations.
The server covers two major HTML-to-PDF rendering engines, which is good for its narrow scope. However, it lacks other common PDF operations like merging, splitting, or direct URL conversion, leaving notable gaps.
Available Tools
2 toolshtml_to_pdfAInspect
Convert HTML and CSS to a PDF document using the WeasyPrint rendering engine. Supports PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-3b, and PDF/UA compliance standards. Best for professional documents: invoices, reports, certificates, contracts, and accessible documents. Send a complete HTML document including , with , and tags. Returns a temporary download URL for the generated PDF (valid for 30 minutes). Requires a paid PdfBroker.io plan (Starter or above). Defaults reflect EU-first usage: A4 paper, Portrait orientation.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| html | Yes | Complete HTML document string including <html>, <head>, <style>, and <body> tags. Use CSS for styling. WeasyPrint supports CSS Paged Media for headers, footers, and page numbers via @page margin boxes. | |
| paperSize | No | Paper size: 'A4' (default, EU-first, 210x297mm), 'Letter' (8.5x11in), 'A3' (297x420mm), 'Legal' (8.5x14in) | A4 |
| resources | No | Optional embedded resources referenced by relative path in the HTML (images, custom fonts via @font-face, stylesheets, etc.). Keys are relative paths (e.g., 'images/logo.png'), values are base64-encoded file contents. Unused entries are silently ignored. Invalid base64 returns a clear, key-named error before the API call is made. | |
| orientation | No | Page orientation: 'Portrait' (default) or 'Landscape' | Portrait |
| extraArguments | No | Optional extra WeasyPrint engine arguments forwarded verbatim to the engine. Keys are CLI long-form options without '--'. For switch-style flags use an empty-string value — example: {"presentational-hints": ""}. On key collision with structured parameters (conformanceLevel, paperSize, orientation), the user-supplied extra wins. See the docs://pdfbroker/api-reference resource for the supported argument list. | |
| conformanceLevel | No | PDF compliance standard. Values: 'None' (default — no compliance), 'PdfA1b' (archival, maps to pdf/a-1b), 'PdfA3b' (archival with attachments, maps to pdf/a-3b), 'PdfUA1' (accessibility, European Accessibility Act, maps to pdf/ua-1). Use PdfUA1 when the document must be accessible to screen readers. | None |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden. It discloses a temporary download URL with a 30-minute validity, a paid plan requirement, and EU-first defaults (A4, portrait). It also notes support for multiple compliance standards. While it doesn't cover error handling or rate limits, it provides substantial behavioral context for a conversion tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at four sentences and front-loads the core action. It efficiently covers purpose, supported standards, use cases, input requirements, output behavior, prerequisites, and defaults without excessive fluff. The structure is logical, but the 'Best for' phrase is slightly promotional.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description explains the return value (temporary URL), engine, compliance options, input requirements, and access prerequisite. It handles the tool's complexity well. The only gap is lack of differentiation from html_to_pdf_wk, which prevents full contextual completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds minor context like EU-first defaults explaining A4/Portrait, but most parameter details are already in the schema. It does not introduce new parameter semantics beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Convert HTML and CSS to a PDF document using the WeasyPrint rendering engine.' This clearly states what the tool does and differentiates it from sibling html_to_pdf_wk by naming the engine. It also lists supported compliance standards and typical use cases, reinforcing a distinct purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear usage context by stating it is 'Best for professional documents: invoices, reports, certificates, contracts, and accessible documents' and instructs to 'Send a complete HTML document including <html>, <head> with <style>, and <body> tags.' However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use this tool, so it misses the full 'when-not' guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
html_to_pdf_wkAInspect
Convert HTML to PDF using the wkhtmltopdf rendering engine. Supports JavaScript execution and screen-capture style rendering. Good for simple documents, web page snapshots, layouts that rely on JavaScript, and fillable PDF forms (pass 'enable-forms' as an extra argument). Available on all PdfBroker.io plans including the free tier. Does NOT support PDF/A or PDF/UA compliance — use html_to_pdf for compliant documents. Defaults reflect EU-first usage: A4 paper, Portrait orientation.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| html | Yes | HTML content to convert. Can be a full document or a fragment. | |
| paperSize | No | Paper size: 'A4' (default, EU-first), 'Letter', 'A3', 'Legal' | A4 |
| resources | No | Optional embedded resources referenced by relative path in the HTML. Keys are relative paths (e.g., 'images/logo.png'), values are base64-encoded file contents. Unused entries are silently ignored. Invalid base64 returns a clear, key-named error before the API call is made. | |
| orientation | No | Page orientation: 'Portrait' (default) or 'Landscape' | Portrait |
| extraArguments | No | Optional extra wkhtmltopdf engine arguments forwarded verbatim to the engine. Keys are CLI long-form options without '--'. For switch-style flags use an empty-string value — example: {"enable-forms": ""} to make form fields in the rendered PDF interactive. On key collision with structured parameters (paperSize, orientation), the user-supplied extra wins. See the docs://pdfbroker/api-reference resource for the supported argument list. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility. It discloses key behaviors: JavaScript execution, screen-capture rendering, lack of PDF/A/UA support, and how to enable forms via extraArguments. It also mentions EU-first defaults (A4, Portrait), adding useful context beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a compact, front-loaded paragraph where every sentence earns its place. It clearly states purpose, capabilities, use cases, limitations, alternatives, and defaults without redundancy, and uses bold for the compliance caveat.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 5 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description provides substantial context: intended use cases, explicit alternative, compliance limitations, form-filling capability, and defaults. This is sufficient for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds only marginal parameter context beyond the schema, such as tying 'enable-forms' to fillable forms and mentioning EU-first defaults, but the schema already thoroughly documents all parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Specifically states it converts HTML to PDF using the wkhtmltopdf rendering engine, and distinguishes from the sibling html_to_pdf by noting compliance limitations. The verb and resource are clear and the engine adds specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly lists appropriate use cases (simple documents, web snapshots, JavaScript-dependent layouts, fillable forms) and explicitly tells users to use html_to_pdf for PDF/A or PDF/UA compliant documents. This provides direct when-to-use vs alternatives guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
