The standard `Read`/`Edit`/`Write` tools cannot parse or modify `.docx`/`.xlsx`/`.pdf`.

Headings, tables, and sheets are preserved; long cells overflow their column rather than being cut. ### Comments Document comments are **included by default**, appended per file in a trailing `--- Comments ---` block with the author and an anchor —
