## Description

Read any PDF or image into agent context as markdown (tables preserved) or plain text. Every call returns its exact cost_usd, a free estimate_cost tool quotes documents before you commit, and max_pages / max_cost_usd caps refuse before any spend — OCR agents can budget. $0.75 per 1,000 pages, first 100/month free.
