Generic document extractor for markdown, plain text, CSV, and JSON files. Normalizes encoding and line endings.
AI agents call indexfoundry_extract_document to retrieve information from IndexFoundry MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads and processes existing document files to normalize their format and encoding, returning the extracted content. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations—only retrieves and transforms data for presentation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it "extracts" and "normalizes" document content from markdown, plain text, CSV, and JSON files. The verb "extract" indicates data retrieval with no modification or deletion of source files.
