Extract text and structure from HTML content. Preserves headings, tables, and semantic markup. Outputs clean text or markdown.
AI agents call indexfoundry_extract_html 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 parses HTML input to extract and format content. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations; it only processes and returns structured data derived from HTML. The operation is deterministic and reversible with no lasting effects on any system state.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Extract[s] text and structure from HTML content' and 'Outputs clean text or markdown' — these are purely retrieval and transformation operations with no side effects.
