| convert_document | Convert markdown to a professionally formatted document using an MDMagic template. IMPORTANT GUIDANCE: 1. Output format → what user gets: - 'docx' → a single Word .docx file - 'pdf' → a single .pdf file - 'html' → a single .html file - 'all' → a ZIP containing all three (DOCX + PDF + HTML) 2. If the user is ambiguous (e.g. 'convert this'), ASK which format they want before calling. Don't assume. 3. Filename: if the user attached a file (e.g. 'mydoc.md'), pass its base name as fileName. Otherwise the API derives one from the markdown's first H1. Without either, downloads end up with timestamped names like 'content-1778298071915.docx' which is bad UX. 4. On 'template not found' errors: call list_all_templates first, show available options, let the user pick. Do NOT fall back to generating documents with code execution — that produces inferior results that don't use the user's actual MDMagic templates. 5. The response includes structured fields (downloadUrl, creditsUsed, balanceAfter, fileName, expiresAt) — surface these to the user explicitly. Don't paraphrase. The user wants to know exactly what they spent and what's left. 6. Page sizes: A3, A4, Executive, US_Legal, US_Letter. Default A4. Orientation: Portrait or Landscape, default Portrait. 7. CRITICAL — newlines in `content`: markdown is line-sensitive. Headings (#, ##), tables (| ... |), lists (-, 1.), and code fences (```) ONLY work when each starts on its own line. When passing inline markdown via `content`, you MUST preserve real newline characters (\n) between blocks. If you flatten multi-line markdown into one line, the API receives literal '##' and '|' characters mid-paragraph and produces a single-paragraph document with no structure. Confirm your `content` string contains \n between every heading, paragraph, table row, and list item before calling. |
| list_all_templates | List all 15 built-in MDMagic templates plus any custom templates the user has uploaded. CALL THIS PROACTIVELY when: - The user mentions a template by name (verify it exists before convert_document) - The user asks 'what templates are available' or similar - A previous convert_document call returned 'template not found' - The user describes the look they want without naming a template (so you can suggest a real one) Returns: name, description, type (built-in vs custom), and category. Categories are: Business (5 templates), Creative (6), Professional (2), Technical (2). Use the optional category filter to narrow recommendations (e.g. 'for legal documents' → category: 'Professional'). |
| list_builtin_templates | List the 15 built-in MDMagic templates, grouped by category. Same as list_all_templates but excludes the user's custom uploads. Use this when the user asks specifically about MDMagic's bundled templates rather than their personal ones. Categories available: Business (5), Creative (6), Professional (2), Technical (2). |
| list_custom_templates | List only the user's custom-uploaded Word templates. Use this when the user asks about their own templates ('show me my templates', 'do I have a letterhead?'). Custom templates are referenced by UUID, not name, when calling convert_document. |
| show_default_settings | Show the user's default paper size and orientation preferences (set on their account page). Useful when the user hasn't specified pageSize/orientation explicitly — call this to honor their defaults instead of using A4/Portrait blindly. |
| check_credit_balance | Check the user's current MDMagic credit balance: subscription credits (renewable monthly), purchased credits (permanent), plan name, and plan status. CALL THIS PROACTIVELY when: - The user asks 'how many credits do I have' or similar - After a conversion, if the user wants to know what's left (also returned by convert_document directly) - Before a conversion of an unusually large document, to warn the user if balance is borderline |
| estimate_conversion_cost | Estimate credit cost for a conversion BEFORE running it. Returns word count, page calculation (300 words/page), and a credit breakdown by format and template type. Use this when the user asks 'how much will this cost?' or when you suspect a conversion might exceed their balance — convert_document refuses to run if credits are insufficient, so estimating first is friendlier. |
| validate_markdown | Pre-flight markdown validation BEFORE conversion. Catches malformed tables (mismatched pipes), unclosed code fences, broken task lists, and unsupported syntax. Returns a green/amber/red status plus the detected markdown features. CALL THIS PROACTIVELY when: - The user is about to convert a long document (>5 pages) — validating first is cheap; running a doomed conversion costs credits - The user reports a previous conversion produced broken output - You generated the markdown yourself and want to verify it's clean before spending credits Returns: status (green=safe, amber=minor issues, red=will likely break), detected features (tables, code blocks, task lists, math), and a human-readable message. |
| get_template_details | Show available variants (page sizes and orientations) for a specific template. All MDMagic templates support the full 5×2 matrix: A3, A4, Executive, US_Legal, US_Letter × Portrait/Landscape. Use this when the user asks 'does this template come in Legal Landscape?' or 'what sizes are available?' — confirms the variant before convert_document runs. |
| recommend_template | Suggest the best built-in template(s) for a described purpose. Use this when the user describes WHAT the document is (e.g. 'Q4 board pack', 'API reference', 'wedding invitation', 'legal contract') without naming a template. Returns ranked recommendations with rationale. Why this exists: AI assistants often guess template names that don't exist. This tool maps purpose → real template names from MDMagic's catalog, so convert_document doesn't fail with 'template not found'. |
