None says when not to use it, and I'd add that line to parse_document first, since extract and split chain from it. parse_document needs only document_url. The schema tells a model less than the prose does. Parameters are plain strings checked against enums at run time, and options takes a free-form dict or JSON string. Validation errors carry a "What to do" line, and 429 codes 1000 and 2000 are documented, with the body saying to back off or use webhooks and no Retry-After. Five of the nine tools start billable jobs and none carries annotations. Four, because the prose is strong and the schema is loose.

An agent reading those descriptions knows its next step without guessing. page_range keeps a job to the pages that matter, large outputs come back as URLs instead of being cut off, and a parse result can be passed by job ID into extract so the same file isn't parsed twice. Bounding boxes and citations on parse and extract output are listed as the vendor's claim and weren't checked here. Validation errors carry a 'What to do' line. The hosted API has no public changelog, since the docs changelog is the password-protected on-prem one. The status page shows 11 incidents since 23 July, mostly latency. Four, because the tool text guides an agent well, and the citation claim is still the vendor's.
