This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

dsh-pdf-reader

A DeepSeek Harness plugin that adds a read_pdf tool, extracting text from PDF files page by page. Fully local parsing — no upload, no network access.

为 DeepSeek Harness 增加 read_pdf 工具,逐页提取 PDF 文本。纯本地解析,不上传、不联网。

Install / 安装

dsh plugin --profile web add github:ralfsqual/dsh-pdf-reader

Or install from a local checkout / 或本地安装:

dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-pdf-reader

Restart dsh web afterwards. The read_pdf tool becomes available to the agent in new sessions.

重启 dsh web 后生效,新会话中 Agent 即可调用 read_pdf

Usage / 使用

Tell the agent to read a PDF, or combine it with an @ file mention (e.g. via dsh-at-file):

Read @docs/spec.pdf and summarize the requirements.
读取 @docs/report.pdf 并总结要点。

Tool parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
pathstringPDF path, relative to the current working directory or an absolute path inside the workspace. / 相对当前工作目录或工作区内绝对路径
maxPagesnumberMax pages to extract, default 500; 0 = no limit. / 最多提取页数
maxCharsnumberMax characters to return, default 120000. / 最多返回字符数

How it works / 工作原理

  • Registered as a model tool via defineTool (@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools).
  • Parses the PDF with pdfjs-dist (2.6.347), extracting text per page with --- page N --- separators.
  • Output is a structured object (pages, extractedPages, truncated, empty, text) with a readable render.

Security / 安全

  • Workspace-confined: path must resolve inside the current working directory; escape attempts (e.g. ../) are rejected. / 路径限定工作区内,越界拒绝。
  • Read-only: the tool only reads the file, never writes, never executes commands. / 只读,绝不写入或执行命令。
  • Local only: parsing happens entirely on the host; no network requests are made. / 纯本地解析,无任何网络请求。
  • Password-protected, corrupted, or non-PDF files produce clear error messages.

Prerequisites / 环境要求

  • DeepSeek Harness with a web (or any agent-capable) profile.
  • Node.js >= 22.19.
  • Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux (host process only; no browser/native code).

Limitations / 已知限制

  • Extracts text layers only. Scanned/image-only PDFs contain no extractable text (the tool reports empty; OCR is out of scope). / 仅提取文本层,扫描件需 OCR。
  • Paths must not contain a leading @ when combined with @-mention plugins. / 与 @ 引用插件合用时路径不能以 @ 开头。
  • Very large PDFs are bounded by maxPages/maxChars; output is truncated with a truncated: true marker.
