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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00054 | $0.00455 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.00228 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00091 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
markitdown 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 7d 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
Markitdown: Convert Anything to Markdown
The markitdown MCP server exposes a single tool that converts any supported resource to Markdown.
Tool
convert_to_markdown(uri: string) # on the markitdown MCP server
The uri parameter accepts:
| Scheme | Example | Use for |
|---|---|---|
file: |
file:///Users/you/report.pdf |
Local files on disk |
https: / http: |
https://example.com/page |
Web pages and remote documents |
data: |
data:text/html;base64,... |
Inline base64-encoded content |
Supported Formats
PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, CSV, JSON, XML, ZIP archives, images (with EXIF metadata and OCR), audio (with speech transcription), EPubs, and YouTube URLs.
When to Use
- User says "convert this file to markdown", "read this PDF", "extract text from this Word doc"
- User pastes a file path and asks what is in it
- User wants to summarize or process a document before passing it to another tool
- User needs to index or search document content
How to Use
Local file:
convert_to_markdown(
uri="file:///absolute/path/to/file.pdf"
)
Always use an absolute path. Relative paths will fail.
Remote URL:
convert_to_markdown(
uri="https://example.com/document"
)
After Conversion
The tool returns the full Markdown content as a string. You can then:
- Write it to a
.mdfile in the project withWrite - Summarize or process it inline
- Pass it to another tool or agent
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.
