| convert_documentA | Convert Office documents to Markdown format for Claude to read. Supported formats:
Features:
Images are automatically optimized (WebP format, max 1920x1080) to reduce size while maintaining readability for Claude. |
| read_converted_markdownA | Read the content of a previously converted markdown file. Use this after convert_document to get the actual markdown content. This is useful when you want to process or analyze the converted document. |
| list_conversionsB | List all cached document conversions. Shows all documents that have been converted, including their output paths and number of extracted images. Useful for finding previously converted files. |
| clear_cacheA | Clear all cached conversions. Removes all converted markdown files and extracted images from the cache. Use this to free up disk space or reset the conversion cache. |
| get_document_metadataA | Get metadata from an Office document without full conversion. Extracts document properties like title, author, creation date, etc. Faster than full conversion when you only need metadata. Supported formats: .docx, .doc, .xlsx, .xls, .pptx, .ppt |

Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: clear_cache manages cache, convert_document performs conversions, get_document_metadata extracts metadata, get_supported_formats lists formats, list_conversions shows cached items, and read_converted_markdown reads converted content. The descriptions reinforce these distinct roles, making misselection unlikely.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., clear_cache, convert_document, get_document_metadata, get_supported_formats, list_conversions, read_converted_markdown). This uniformity in naming makes the tool set predictable and easy to navigate for an agent.
With 6 tools, the count is well-scoped for the server's purpose of reading Office documents. Each tool serves a specific function in the conversion and caching workflow, from format support to content retrieval, without being excessive or insufficient for the domain.
The tool set provides complete coverage for the Office document reading domain: it supports conversion (convert_document), metadata retrieval (get_document_metadata), format listing (get_supported_formats), cache management (clear_cache, list_conversions), and content access (read_converted_markdown). There are no obvious gaps in the lifecycle from input to output.
