## Tools (1)

- `convert_document`: Convert a document up to 8 MB to Markdown with MarkItDown and return it.

Pass the file as base64 in `content_base64`, or as a download link in
`file`, and its name in `filename`. The extension decides the type: .pdf,
.docx, .pptx, .xlsx, .html, .htm or .txt. Returns `markdown` and `meta`
(`filename`, `length` in characters). PDFs come back as the text of
their text layer, without headings and without OCR. Works without an
API key at the anonymous rate limit.
