kodeagent.tools.extract_as_markdown

kodeagent.tools.extract_as_markdown(url_or_path: str, max_length: int = 20000) → str

Extract content from documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) as Markdown text. Works with both URLs and local file paths.

Supported formats: - PDF files (.pdf) - Word documents (.docx) - Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx) - PowerPoint presentations (.pptx)

For reading HTML web pages, use ‘read_webpage’ instead (faster and cleaner).

Examples

• Extract from PDF: “https://example.com/paper.pdf”

• Extract from local file: “/tmp/document.docx”

• Extract from Excel: “https://example.com/data.xlsx”

Parameters:

• url_or_path – URL or file path to a PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or PPTX file.

• max_length – Optional limit on output length in characters. Use this to truncate very long documents (may lose information).

Returns:

Document content as Markdown text, or an error message if extraction fails.
