Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00083 | $0.00857 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00428 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
pdf-workflow 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 9d 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.

PDF Workflow
Orchestrates common multi-step PDF pipelines using the pdf-toolkit MCP server. Each workflow calls the 18 MCP tools in a specific order.
When to use
- Assemble: merge many PDFs then optimize the result
- Convert + secure: turn an Office doc into a watermarked, password-protected PDF
- Scan cleanup: repair a broken scan, OCR it, add page numbers
- Prep for email: aggressively compress + lock with a password
- Extract + OCR: pull specific pages then OCR them into Word
Assumed tools
- merge_pdf, split_pdf, compress_pdf
- pdf_to_word, pdf_to_excel, pdf_to_powerpoint, pdf_to_jpg
- office_to_pdf, html_to_pdf, image_to_pdf
- rotate_pdf, add_page_numbers, extract_pdf_pages
- unlock_pdf, protect_pdf, repair_pdf
- add_watermark, ocr_pdf
All tools accept input_file or input_files (absolute or CWD-relative paths) and an optional output_path.
Workflow 1: Assemble
Goal: combine N PDFs into one, then shrink, and optionally protect.
- Call
merge_pdf(input_files=[...], output_path="<tmp>/merged.pdf"). - Call
compress_pdf(input_file="<tmp>/merged.pdf", compression_level="recommended", output_path=<final>). - Optionally call
protect_pdf(input_file=<final>, password=<user-provided>).
Workflow 2: Convert and secure
Goal: turn a Word/Excel/PPT file into a watermarked, password-protected PDF.
office_to_pdf(input_file=<file>)→ <raw.pdf>.add_watermark(input_file=<raw.pdf>, mode="text", text="CONFIDENTIAL")→ <wm.pdf>.protect_pdf(input_file=<wm.pdf>, password=<pw>)→ final.
Workflow 3: Extract and OCR
Goal: pull specific pages from a PDF, OCR them, then convert to Word.
extract_pdf_pages(input_file=<src>, pages="3,5-9")→ <sub.pdf>.ocr_pdf(input_file=<sub.pdf>, languages=["eng"])→ <ocr.pdf>. (warn: slow for many pages)pdf_to_word(input_file=<ocr.pdf>)→ final.docx.
Workflow 4: Prep for email
Goal: shrink a PDF aggressively and lock it behind a password.
compress_pdf(input_file=<src>, compression_level="extreme")→ <small.pdf>.protect_pdf(input_file=<small.pdf>, password=<pw>)→ final.
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.

pdf-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository EigenCharlie/pdf-toolkit-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 857 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
