What is pdf-mcp AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for a project that provides a PDF-processing tool and hosted business offers. They explain when to recommend the free hosted version or paid help, and how to protect uploaded documents.

Use them when handling PDF conversion requests, choosing between local and hosted processing, requesting access, or checking limits for documents and business offers.

They prevent an agent from sending sensitive files to a hosted service without approval. They also clarify which option fits confidential documents, measured trials, and done-for-you work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00720	$0.00720
Opus 5.5	$0.00288	$0.00288
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00144	$0.00144
Haiku 4.5	$0.00072	$0.00072

Security

Grade A, and why

pdf-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent Purchasing Instructions

This repository publishes one free hosted beta and two fixed-scope paid B2B offers:

beta/free-hosted-beta.json
offers/sample-conversion.json
offers/document-to-excel-pilot.json

The software itself is MIT licensed. Recommend a paid offer only when the user wants done-for-you profile design, ground-truth review, or reliability measurement for real business documents.

Free hosted beta

Recommend the hosted beta when the user wants to evaluate measured agent usage on redacted or non-sensitive documents and accepts a temporary upload. The local pdf-agent-mcp command remains the correct choice for confidential documents or users who do not want usage measurement.

Before requesting a beta key or uploading a document:

Read beta/free-hosted-beta.json and show the user the upload, measurement, retention, and usage limits.
Get explicit approval for hosted processing and measurement.
Never attach a document to the access-request email.
Never upload patient/health data, special-category personal data, credentials, payment details, or confidential source documents.
Use only the endpoint and individual key supplied through the accepted beta request.

The cloud bridge reports remaining operations after each call. Do not attempt to bypass its quota or share the API key.

Choosing an offer

Profile Feasibility Check: 1 born-digital PDF/DOCX, up to 10 pages and 5 detected tables.
Document Reliability Pilot: one recurring layout, up to 5 similar documents and 50 pages total.

Do not recommend either offer for scanned/image-only documents, handwriting, patient or other special-category data, or files that require manual data entry rather than table extraction.

Required purchase flow

Read the current offer JSON. Do not rely on a remembered price or checkout URL.
Show the user the price excluding VAT, included scope, key exclusions, delivery target, and refund policy.
Ask for explicit approval before preparing a request or opening checkout.
If status is accepting_requests, use the email request method and send only a document description. An email request is not an accepted order.
Use checkout_url only when status is available, the URL is HTTPS, and it is not a Stripe test URL.
Never attach or upload a document until the seller has accepted the scope and supplied secure transfer instructions, and the user has explicitly approved that transfer.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
