Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| sniff_fileA | Identify a local file from its binary magic bytes and container structure without trusting its filename extension. Detects mismatches (e.g. an MP4 disguised as a PDF or a Word document saved as .zip). |
| inspect_office_documentA | Inspect a local Office document (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) or PDF (.pdf) for document properties, explicit AI/automation metadata clues (such as ChatGPT, openpyxl, ReportLab or WeasyPrint), hidden Excel worksheets, fonts, colours, and package workflow hints. |
| strip_image_metadataA | Losslessly strip identifying metadata (EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, comments, thumbnails, trailers) from a JPEG, PNG, or WebP file without re-encoding pixel data. |

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: sniff_file identifies file types, inspect_office_document inspects document metadata, and strip_image_metadata removes image metadata. The boundaries are clear despite sniff_file being broad, because it does not overlap with metadata inspection or stripping.
All three tools follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern: sniff_file, inspect_office_document, strip_image_metadata. The naming is predictable and readable.
Three tools are well-scoped for a focused file-inspection and metadata-privacy server. Each tool earns its place without redundancy or excessive surface area.
The set covers file-type identification, Office/PDF inspection, and image metadata stripping, but has notable gaps: no generic image metadata inspection before stripping, no metadata stripping for PDF/Office documents, and no batch or directory-level operations. These gaps limit end-to-end workflows for the apparent domain.
