Configuration

Every field is optional; defaults are shown.

- id: markitdown
  name: dsh-markitdown
  config:
    engine: auto              # auto | markitdown | uvx | python | builtin
    uvxPackage: "markitdown[all]"   # slim it to "markitdown[pdf,docx,pptx,xlsx]"
    command: ""               # explicit markitdown executable, overrides PATH
    timeoutMs: 120000         # per-conversion deadline
    maxChars: 120000          # inline result cap; longer output is truncated
    maxBytes: 67108864        # bytes the built-in engine will read
    allowUrls: true           # accept http(s) inputs
    extraArgs: []             # extra CLI arguments for the external engine

engine: auto probes the chain once per plugin instance and caches the winner. Setting an engine explicitly disables the fallback: if you ask for uvx and there is no uv, the call fails with the reason and the fix, rather than quietly converting with something else.

A first uvx run downloads MarkItDown and its dependencies (about a minute). Package-manager progress lines are filtered out of the tool result; only real diagnostics are reported.
