Correct invalid input before retrying; retry server-busy responses with bounded backoff. Returned files contain Base64 data, not persistent download URLs. Decode and inspect the output before treating conversion as successful. See the shared API guide for the complete status and timeout rules.\n\n### Browser-agent workflow\n\n1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.\n2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.\n3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.\n4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.\n5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.\n\nCalls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.\n\n### Planning specification\n\nPage boxes and margins; explain cropping may leave hidden content rather than redact it.\n\nThis describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.\n\n### Complete machine-readable capability record\n\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"crop-pdf\",\n  \"category\": \"pdf-tools\",\n  \"built\": true,\n  \"requirements\": \"Page boxes and margins; explain cropping may leave hidden content rather than redact it.\",\n  \"implementation\": {\n    \"fields\": [\n      {\n        \"key\": \"pages\",\n        \"label\": \"Pages (blank = all)\",\n        \"value\": \"\",\n        \"type\": \"text\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"key\": \"margin\",\n        \"label\": \"Crop margin (PDF points)\",\n        \"value\": 36,\n        \"type\": \"number\"\n      }\n    ],\n    \"files\": true,\n    \"multiple\": false,\n    \"input\": false,\n    \"accept\": \".pdf\",\n    \"note\": \"Cropping changes the visible area, not the underlying content.

([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/pdf-tools/merge-pdf.md))\n\n- [Split PDF](https://happytails.ai/en/pdf-tools/split-pdf/): Save selected PDF pages as separate files. ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/pdf-tools/split-pdf.md))\n\n- [Extract pages](https://happytails.ai/en/pdf-tools/extract-pages/): Create a PDF containing the pages you select. ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/pdf-tools/extract-pages.md))\n\n## How to use Crop PDF\n\n1. Choose a file in PDF.\n2. Review the settings, then choose Run Crop PDF.\n3. Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.\n\n## What to expect\n\nChange the visible margins of selected PDF pages. Enter the same crop margin for all four sides in PDF points. Cropping changes the visible area but keeps underlying content; use a true redaction tool to remove sensitive material.\n"
