How to read this: tool names here are observed from a live tools/list handshake. The Risk label is a heuristic inferred from the tool name (write/destructive verbs), not from executing the tool — a conservative guess, not a verified capability. We never escalate risk from a description. Found one that's wrong? Tell us — we fix on report.
| Tool | Risk | Side effects | Approval |
|---|---|---|---|
| translate_file Translate a document into another language with the original layout and formatting preserved (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, TXT, MD, SRT, VTT). The job runs immediately and returns a FREE preview of the first pages plus a secure Stripe checkout link — the full translated file unlocks after payment ($4.99, one-time, no account needed). Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension. | read | false | unknown |
| list_conversions List all supported conversion routes. Optionally filter by source format to see what you can convert FROM a specific format. | read | false | unknown |
| do_file_job Describe what you want done to a file in plain language — e.g. "translate this contract to German", "pull every table out of this PDF into Excel", "shrink this video to under 25MB", "convert this to PDF". The instruction is routed to the right job automatically; if the request is not supported yet you get an honest explanation of what is. Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension. | read | false | unknown |
| extract_tables Extract every table from a PDF or image (PNG, JPG, WebP) into a clean multi-sheet Excel file. The job runs immediately and returns a FREE preview of the first table plus a secure Stripe checkout link — the full .xlsx unlocks after payment ($3.99, one-time, no account needed). Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension. | read | false | unknown |
| convert_file Convert a file from one format to another. Add a verified ChangeThisFile API key for the shared developer allowance (25 free conversions/month); anonymous access is temporary compatibility mode. Pass EITHER a publicly accessible URL (source_url) OR base64-encoded file contents (base64_content + source_format) — exactly one is required. Returns a temporary download URL (valid 1 hour; file deleted within 24 hours). | read | false | unknown |
| check_job Check the status of a previously submitted file job (translate_file, extract_tables, compress_file). Returns the current status, preview + checkout link for completed paid jobs, or the download URL for completed free/paid-and-unlocked jobs. | read | false | unknown |
| compress_file Compress a file (PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, MP4, MOV, WebM) down to an exact target size — e.g. "under 5MB for an upload form". FREE (daily limit applies). Returns a download URL on success; if the target is physically unreachable it fails honestly and reports the smallest achievable size. Provide EITHER source_url OR base64_content, plus a filename with extension. | read | false | unknown |
