## Quality 79/100 (good)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- warn `protocol.modern`: newest supported version is 2025-11-25; 2026-07-28 not supported, older versions are deprecated until 2027-07-28
- n/a `protocol.stateless`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- n/a `protocol.list_ttl`: only applies to 2026-07-28 servers

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 71 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- fail `tools.annotations`: no tool declares readOnlyHint or destructiveHint, so clients cannot tell safe calls from risky ones
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: get_pdf_metadata (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); merge_pdfs (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); extract_pages (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); …
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 964 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 10, about 964 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 8546627907bf03203e152d8c6caa9600
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/com.pdfia/pdf-tools.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/com.pdfia/pdf-tools)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (10)

- `add_page_numbers`: Stamp page numbers onto every page of a PDF. Returns base64.
- `extract_pages`: Extract the given pages into a new PDF (original order). Returns base64.
- `flatten_pdf`: Flatten fillable form fields into permanent page content so answers can't be edited. Returns base64.
- `get_pdf_metadata`: Read a PDF's document properties (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, dates, page count).
- `merge_pdfs`: Merge multiple PDF files into one, in the order given. Returns the merged PDF as base64.
- `remove_pages`: Delete the given pages from a PDF. Returns the remaining document as base64.
- `rotate_pdf`: Rotate pages clockwise by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Rotates all pages unless a page list is given. Returns base64.
- `set_pdf_metadata`: Rewrite a PDF's document properties. Pass empty strings to strip identifying metadata before sharing. Returns base64.
- `split_pdf`: Split a PDF into parts. Provide ranges like "1-3, 5, 8-10" (each comma group becomes one output PDF), or omit ranges to get every page as its own PDF. Returns base64 files.
- `watermark_pdf`: Stamp a diagonal text watermark (e.g. "CONFIDENTIAL", "DRAFT") across every page. Returns base64.
