About this plugin
In DeepSeek Harness workflows, agents often need to read PDF documents—contracts, papers, reports—but there is a lack of a secure, lightweight local parsing option.
dsh-pdf-reader registers a read_pdf model tool that extracts text-layer content page by page using pdfjs-dist, entirely on the host. It supports configurable maxPages and maxChars limits, confines file access to the workspace directory, is strictly read-only, and makes zero network requests.
Ideal for developers who need PDF reading in their agent pipelines and prioritize data privacy. Note that it extracts text layers only; scanned or image-only PDFs will yield empty results, as OCR is out of scope.
Use Cases
- Let an agent read and summarize a PDF report in the workspace during a session
- Combine with @-file mention plugins so the agent can auto-parse a paper PDF and answer questions
- In batch documentation pipelines, have the agent extract text layers from PDFs one by one
Best For
- Developers who need PDF handling in agent workflows and prioritize data privacy
- Teams that want to avoid uploading documents to third-party services
- Users building localized document processing pipelines with DeepSeek Harness
