Summarize Document

Summarize a long PDF, scan, office file, text file, or markdown file through the connected Superlinked MCP edge instead of reading the whole source into model context. Use when the user asks for a summary, overview, digest, or "what does this document say" about a large file.

Summarize a Document with Superlinked MCP

Use the connected Superlinked MCP server to summarize the source on the SIE cluster through the MCP summarize_document tool.

Steps

Do not open, view, attach, or read the whole source document into context.
Call the Superlinked MCP summarize_document tool:
- For PDF, scan, image-of-text, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, or HTML inputs, read raw bytes only, base64-encode them, and pass document_base64 plus filename.
- For text or markdown inputs, read raw bytes only, base64-encode them, and pass content_base64.
- Leave engine as auto unless the user explicitly asks to force a conversion engine.
Write the returned summary to processed/<source-stem>.summary.md. Create processed/ if it does not exist.
Your next message must begin with a short receipt:
```
Summarized <source> -> processed/<source-stem>.summary.md (<summary_chars> chars)
```
If metadata includes token_savings_estimate, include it as an estimate.
Present the summary from the artifact. If the user asks for exact quotes or detailed follow-up, use parse-document and inspect only relevant sections of the parsed markdown.

Errors

If the MCP call fails, relay the tool error and do not retry blindly. For auth or connector errors, tell the user to reinstall the generated MCP plugin pack or rerun the generated claude mcp add ... --header 'Authorization: Bearer ...' command from INSTALL.md.
