Key Capabilities
Resilient document processing pipelines
Wrap your document tasks in Mastra AI workflows to handle errors like a pro. If `ocr_image` hits a rate limit, the engine automatically retries the operation. Define your sequence once and let the framework manage the state. It keeps your document pipeline moving even when external conditions fluctuate.
Conditional document routing
Branch your logic based on document type or content. If `pdf_to_json` returns a specific flag, trigger an approval step or send the data to a different agent. Your agents act on the output of these tools with precise control. It’s about building workflows that know exactly what to do next.
Secure document modification
Add or remove password protection using `protect_pdf` and `unprotect_pdf` as part of a larger security workflow. You can gate these actions behind manual approval steps. Protect your data by ensuring only verified agents can access sensitive file operations. It creates a clear audit trail for every document you touch.
