Now let me extract the full text from the attached PDF.
Running Command

python3 << 'EOF' import pdfplumber pdf_path = "/tmp/workspace/attachments/7a8429b0-74c6-47b1-9925-742e95353399/GAIT _compressed.pdf" with pdfplumber.open(pdf_path) as pdf: print(f"Total pages: {len(pdf.pages)}") # Extract first 10 pages to see structure for i, page in enumerate(pdf.pages[:10]): text = page.extract_text() print(f"\n--- PAGE {i+1} ---") print(text[:2000] if text else "[No text]") EOF

The PDF is image-based (scanned). Let me use analyse_media on a few key pages and also query the medical library for this content simultaneously.

Good, images are ready. Now I'll analyse key pages in parallel and simultaneously query the medical library. I have 5 analyse_media calls - I'll use them strategically on pages that cover all the exam question topics.
analyse_media
analyse_media
Finding Sources
analyse_media needs HTTP URLs. Let me serve the images or use a base64 approach, and also query the medical library for gait content.
Running Command

cd /tmp/workspace/gait_pages && python3 -m http.server 8765 & sleep 2 echo "Server started" # Test if accessible curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:8765/page_01.jpg

Finding Sources
Now let me analyse the PDF pages (using localhost) and read the medical library content simultaneously.

analyse_media can't access localhost. Let me use the task subagent to handle the PDF image analysis while I simultaneously build the notes from library content. The task agent has all tools including analyse_media with image base64 capability.

You need to extract ALL text content from a 40-page scanned PDF about gait biomechanics (Cynthia C Norkin chapter). The images are stored at /tmp/workspace/gait_pages/page_01.jpg through page_40.jpg. Your job: Read these image files and extract all text content. Since analyse_media needs HTTP URLs (not file:// URLs), you need to: 1. First start a simple HTTP server: run `python3 -m http.server 8766 &` from the /tmp/workspace/gait_pages directory, then sleep 2 seconds. 2. Then use analyse_media tool on pages 1-10 in parallel batches, using URLs like http://localhost:8766/page_01.jpg etc. Use the focus: "Extract ALL text verbatim from this page. Include every heading, subheading, bullet point, paragraph, table content, and figure caption. This is a textbook page about gait biomechanics." 3. Do pages 1-5 in one batch, then pages 6-10, then 11-15, 16-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40. 4. Compile ALL extracted text organized by page number. Return: The complete extracted text from all 40 pages, organized by page number. This is critical - extract every single word of content.
