  - Its definitions contain text aimed at the model (TC19). This page doesn't repeat them; don't connect to it without your user's say-so.
  - error TC19 create_upload_page: the definition tells the model to keep something from the user
  - error TC19 upload_pdf: the definition tells the model to keep something from the user
  - warn TC11 redact_by_text_range: 2 parameters without a description: content[].lines[].line_index, content[].lines[].text
  - warn TC18 delete_pdf_page: destructiveHint is false but the name says "delete"
  - warn TC20 check_upload_status: the description steers the model
  - warn TC21 set_password: described almost the same as change_password (89% of the same words)
