Read PDFs sent or selected in this turn; discover and read authorized project resource PDFs when no turn reference matches. Cite verified PDF bridge fragments and retrieve their annotations when requested. Not for stored literature catalogue papers, which use project-literature.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# PDF Evidence
Use the `scholarseed_bridge` model tool, not a terminal executable. The backend binds
authorization to this session and turn; never supply a guessed project, session or file path.
## Read only relevant evidence
1. Discover this turn's authorized sources with
`{"capability":"pdf","operation":"list","request":{}}`.
This is a turn-reference list, not the project library inventory. If empty, or no
source matches the requested project material, follow Project resource PDFs below.
List metadata and a selected excerpt are not proof that the whole PDF has been read.
2. Use `capability=pdf`, `operation=read` or `search`, with the returned `ref_id` and
parameters from that operation's described contract. For a directory scope, include the source's
project-relative `path`. Use the question and any selected page to choose bounded reads.
3. If indexing is queued/running, use `operation=status`, then read again once ready.
A failed/unavailable source has no readable evidence; report the limitation rather
than inventing a location, reusing earlier content or bypassing authorization.
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add alibaba-damo-academy/scholarseed/pdf-evidence@sha256:920e3936f872d97cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
