Get next page of search results.
AI agents call search_pdf_next_page to retrieve information from PDF Tools MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves the next page of search results from a PDF search operation. It queries and returns data with no side effects—no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code. The paginated navigation is a read-only operation on existing search results. The server's security model (workspace-restricted, local paths/URLs) and the tool's purely informational purpose confirm low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_pdf_next_page' and description 'Get next page of search results' indicate retrieval of paginated search results without modification or deletion.
