Tools
| Tool | Description | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| convert_document | Convert any document to another format without storing a template. Supports 100+ input/output format combinations: Office documents, PDFs, images, web pages, spreadsheets, and more. The source file can be a local path, a URL, or a base64 string. Carbone tags are PRESERVED, not resolved: converting a template keeps every {d.field} intact, so this is also how you proof a template in another format (DOCX template → PDF, or DOCX → ODT while it stays a template). Use render_document instead when you need data injection ({d.field} tags resolved), translations, or batch generation. Common conversions: DOCX → PDF (file: "report.docx", convertTo: "pdf"; add converter: "I" for the fastest DOCX→PDF path), XLSX → PDF (file: "data.xlsx", convertTo: "pdf"), PPTX → PDF (file: "slides.pptx", convertTo: "pdf", converter: "O" for best fidelity), HTML → PDF (file: "page.html", convertTo: "pdf", converter: "C" for full CSS/JS rendering), DOCX → HTML (file: "doc.docx", convertTo: "html"), XLSX → CSV (file: "sheet.xlsx", convertTo: "csv"), PDF → PNG (file: "doc.pdf", convertTo: "png"), PPTX → PNG (first slide as image), MD → PDF (file: "readme.md", convertTo: "pdf"). | Read-only |
| delete_template | Delete a stored Carbone template. This is a soft delete: the template is marked for garbage collection and removed after a delay (default 24 hours). You can delete by Template ID (removes all versions) or by Version ID (removes only that specific version). For immediate or scheduled deletion, use update_template_metadata with expireAt = 42000000000 (NOW) or a future Unix timestamp. | Destructive |
| download_template | Download the original source file of a stored Carbone template (e.g. the DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, or HTML file that was uploaded). Use this to inspect, edit, or back up a template. Pass a Template ID to download the currently deployed version, or a Version ID to download a specific version. Set sample:true to fetch the JSON sample dataset stored with the template instead of the template file itself. | Read-only |
| get_api_status | Check Carbone API health and version. Returns the current API version and a status message. Useful for verifying connectivity and confirming which Carbone version is active. | Read-only |
| get_capabilities | Returns a summary of all Carbone capabilities: supported formats, features, tool usage examples, and links to full documentation. Call this first if you are unsure what Carbone can do. | Read-only |
| list_categories | List all template categories currently in use in your Carbone account. Categories act like folders for organising templates (e.g. "invoices", "legal", "hr"). Use the returned names as the category filter in list_templates or upload_template. | Read-only |
| list_tags | List all tags currently used across templates in your Carbone account. Tags are free-form labels attached to templates (e.g. "sales", "billing", "v2"). Note: the Carbone API does not support filtering list_templates by tag — use this tool to discover available tags, then call list_templates and filter the results manually. | Read-only |
| list_templates | List stored Carbone templates with filtering, search, and pagination. Filter by Template ID, Version ID, category, or upload origin. Use includeVersions to see the full version history of each template. Supports cursor-based pagination for large collections. Note: filtering by tags is not supported by the Carbone API — use list_tags to discover tags, then filter results manually. Note: templates uploaded with versioning disabled appear with id = null and are identified only by their versionId — pass that versionId where a Template ID is expected (e.g. delete_template, download_template). | Read-only |
| render_document | Generate a document by merging a Carbone template with JSON data. Two modes: (1) pass templateId to use a previously uploaded template; (2) pass template (file path, URL, or base64) to upload and render in a single request without storing a template. Supports output format conversion, multilingual rendering, currency conversion, batch generation, and advanced PDF options (watermark, password, PDF/A). Async mode: pass webhookUrl to render asynchronously — Carbone will POST the renderId to your URL when the document is ready. Async mode is required when using batch generation (batchSplitBy). | Read-only |
| update_template_metadata | Update the metadata of a stored template: name, comment, category, tags, deployment timestamp, or expiration. Use deployedAt to activate a specific version for rendering. Use expireAt to schedule or trigger immediate deletion. | Changes data |
| upload_template | Upload and store a reusable Carbone template. Once uploaded, use render_document with the returned Template ID to generate documents from it. Supports versioning: multiple versions can live under a single stable Template ID, with deployedAt controlling which version is active. Accepted formats: DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP, ODG, HTML, XHTML, IDML, XML, Markdown, PDF, and more. | Changes data |
