    Why it is in this group

    • The name "convert_pdf_tables" says "convert": a word for a change.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when the user wants to convert a PDF to Excel, convert PDF to Excel, extract a table from a PDF, convert PDF table to Excel, PDF to CSV, PDF to XLSX, get a bank statement PDF to Excel, or turn a PDF to spreadsheet. It reads the tables in a text-based PDF and returns an Excel workbook (one sheet per table) and a ZIP of CSV files, with column types and a preview of the first rows. Handles up to 15 MB and 50 pages. Does not read scanned or image-only pages (no OCR), does not edit the PDF, and keeps files for about 1 hour. Do not use for a PDF that is only a form to fill or for reading a PDF as plain text.

    • The name "list_pdf_tables" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when the user wants to extract table from pdf, copy table from pdf, or inspect pdf to spreadsheet tables, before exporting: it shows each table's size, column types and first rows with no download. Does not make Excel or CSV files (use convert_pdf_tables for that), does not read scanned pages (no OCR), and handles up to 15 MB and 50 pages. Do not use for editing a PDF or for a PDF that is not a table.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
