"what is this PDF", "inspect", "info"?
WORKFLOW 1: Inspect & Classify
The complete PDF operating layer for AI agents — 57 tools for inspecting, extracting, generating, converting, manipulating, securing, and filling PDFs. Pure Rust, zero dependencies, local-only.
What this skill teaches
An MCP server tells an agent which actions are available. A skill adds the judgment around those actions: how to recognize the job, which sequence to follow, what to avoid, and how to decide that the result is complete.
Orchestrate PDF operations — inspect structure, extract text/tables/metadata, generate business documents (invoices, contracts, certificates), convert between formats, manipulate pages, secure with encryption/redaction, and fill forms. Use when working with PDFs, creating invoices, extracting data from documents,…
Architecture
The skill stays readable and portable because it contains instructions rather than service credentials or business data. ADK-Rust supplies it to the agent, the agent chooses from its reviewed tool boundary, and the connected MCP server performs the authenticated operation.
The agent receives a goal expressed in ordinary language.
Matches intent, supplies the decision guide, and narrows the tool boundary.
Plans the workflow and streams each meaningful step through the runtime.
Executes authenticated operations against the system that owns the capability.
The skill's completion rules shape the evidence returned to the user.
Decision guide
These routes come directly from the skill instructions. They help the model recognize intent and select a focused tool or workflow instead of improvising across the entire capability surface.

Proven workflows
A workflow joins several tool calls into a task the user actually recognizes. The skill explains the sequence and the intended result while ADK-Rust streams the agent's progress through the shared runtime.
Understand any PDF (type, health, features)
Text, tables, metadata, key-values from PDFs
Professional invoices, contracts, certificates
PDF ↔ Markdown, HTML, JSON, CSV, Images
Merge, split, rotate, compress, watermark
PII scan, redaction, encryption, sanitization
Tool boundary
This allowlist is declared by the skill. It keeps the agent focused on the actions needed for this job while mcp-pdf retains responsibility for authentication, validation, and the connected system.

Install and connect
Install the repository where your ADK-Rust skill loader can discover it, connect mcp-pdf, and confirm the declared tools are available before asking the agent to use the workflow.
