Convert a DOCX file to Markdown. Note: Markdown support is deprecated by mammoth.js, but still functional.
AI agents call convert_docx_to_markdown to retrieve information from Mammoth MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads a DOCX file and converts its content to Markdown format. It performs a read/transform operation with no writes, deletions, or external side effects. The deprecation notice does not change the fundamental nature of the operation. Severity is low as misuse would at most expose file contents.
