In plain words
What is it for?
It helps read PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or text files, turn web pages into Markdown, and retrieve search results for use in automated workflows.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

venice-augment scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Three lightweight helpers for agent pipelines that need document text, web pages, or search results without spinning up your own crawler.

Endpoint Input Output Privacy
POST /augment/text-parser multipart/form-data file (PDF / DOCX / XLSX / plain text, ≤ 25 MB) { text, tokens } JSON or plain text In-memory only, zero retention
POST /augment/scrape { url } { url, content (markdown), format: "markdown" } Zero retention
POST /augment/search { query, limit?, search_provider? } { query, results: [{ title, url, content, date }] } Brave ZDR / Google anonymized; zero retention

All three accept Bearer API key or SIWE (x402 wallet). All three are priced dynamically ($0.001–$10.00).

POST /augment/text-parser — extract text from documents

Request

Always multipart/form-data:

Field Notes
file Required. PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or plain text. Max 25 MB.
response_format json (default) or text.
curl -X POST https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/augment/text-parser \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@./contract.pdf" \
  -F "response_format=json"

Response

response_format=json:

{
  "text": "…extracted plaintext…",
  "tokens": 3821
}

response_format=text — raw plaintext body (Content-Type: text/plain).

Tips

  • tokens is the count of the extracted text — use it to pre-budget a downstream chat request.
  • Scanned image PDFs are not OCR'd. Run images through a vision model via /chat/completions instead.
  • Documents are processed in memory only and content is not retained after the response. (Operational metadata like request IDs and error traces may still be logged for debugging — this is a no-content-retention guarantee, not a zero-log guarantee.)

POST /augment/scrape — URL → markdown

Request

{ "url": "https://example.com/article" }

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.
