FastMCP is a Python framework for building Model Context Protocol applications, which connect language models with tools and data through servers and clients. Developers use it to expose Python functions as tools, connect to local or remote MCP servers, and build interactive tool interfaces. The catalogue includes eight skills, three instructions, two rules, one setting, and one hook for FastMCP.
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.

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 | $0.00011 | $0.00153 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00061 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00031 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
pdf-processing 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 1mo 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.
What it actually says
PDF Processing Skill
This skill helps you work with PDF documents.
Capabilities
- Extract text content from PDF files
- Fill form fields in PDF documents
- Merge multiple PDFs into one
- Split PDFs into separate pages
Usage
When working with PDFs, use the appropriate tools:
- For text extraction: Read the PDF and parse its content
- For forms: Identify form fields and fill them programmatically
- For merging: Combine multiple documents in the desired order
Additional Resources
See reference.md for detailed API documentation.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-processing is a skill published in the GitHub repository PrefectHQ/fastmcp (28,117 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 153 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
