Excel Vision MCP vs Adeu

accept_all_changes

Accepts every tracked change in the document, producing a finalized clean document. remove_comments (boolean, DEFAULT TRUE): also delete every comment. The default is TRUE because this tool's purpose is a distributable clean document, and comments are internal review notes that must not travel to a counterparty. Pass remove_comments=false to accept the tracked changes while KEEPING the comments — use that when the review conversation is still live. Either way the response reports how many comments were deleted and names each one with its author, and comments whose anchored text an accepted deletion consumes are removed regardless, exactly as Word does. [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]

apply_text_revision

Applies whole-text revised text to a DOCX document by computing a diff and generating tracked changes. Includes a clean-text verification gate to ensure the applied document matches the supplied text. `revised_text` must be the complete CLEAN view of the document: read it with `read_docx` (`clean_view=true`, `page='all'`), edit that text, and send ALL of it back. Never CriticMarkup ({++, {--, {>>) — this tool diffs against the clean view, so markup tokens would land in the document as literal prose. Never one page of a paginated extract — everything absent from the text is applied as a tracked deletion. INTERLOCK: a revision that drops >50% of the characters (>75% for documents under 2000 characters) is refused unless you pass allow_major_deletions=true. If the applied document's clean text does not then match `revised_text`, NOTHING is written to output_path: a diagnostic copy is kept at <name>.unverified.docx and the call fails. output_path defaults to <name>_redlined.docx; an existing _redlined/_processed artifact is revised in place. [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]

diff_docx_files

Compares two DOCX files and returns a compact `@@ Word Patch @@` diff — Adeu's token-level, sub-word patch format — of their text content. Useful for analyzing differences between versions before editing. [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]

finalize_document

Prepares a document for external distribution or e-signature. Note: in this zero-dependency environment, protection_mode='encrypt' is unsupported and falls back to a native read-only lock; export_pdf and password are ignored. [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]

process_document_batch

Applies a batch of edits and review actions to a DOCX. Batches apply SEQUENTIALLY: each change validates against state from prior changes. Valid changes apply when others fail (salvage default): response LEADS with `PARTIAL: applied K of N` listing unapplied changes. Pass partial=false for all-or-nothing. Each item in `changes` needs a `type`: 1. 'modify': search-and-replace. `target_text` must match uniquely (`match_mode`:'strict', default) — add context or set `match_mode`:'first'/'all'. Set `regex`:true for regex matching (groups in `new_text` as $1, $2…). `new_text` supports Markdown: '#'–'######' headings, '**bold**', '_italic_', '\n\n' paragraph split. Omit it (with a comment) to annotate without changing text; empty string deletes. Never write CriticMarkup manually — use `comment`. • EMPTY CELLS: blank cells carry `{#cell:<id>}` anchors — set `target_text` to the anchor and value in `new_text`. Pipes are display separators. 2. 'accept'/'reject': finalize or revert a tracked change by `target_id` (e.g. 'Chg:12'). 3. 'reply': reply to a comment by `target_id` (e.g. 'Com:5') with `text`. 4. 'set_field': fill a form field — `field` is its 'CC:<N>' id, tag or alias, `value` the text; list via `read_docx` `mode`:'fields'. Checkboxes take true/false, dates YYYY-MM-DD, dropdowns a listed option. Dual-writes bound stores. A locked/protected control refuses and names the override permitting it. 5. 'insert_row': add table row — `target_text` anchors on an existing row's text, `cells` holds cell values (left-to-right), `position` is 'above'/'below' (default below). 'delete_row': remove row matching `target_text`. Disk mode only. ID VOLATILITY: 'Chg:N'/'Com:N' ids shift between states — call `read_docx` before accept/reject/reply; never reuse ids from earlier turns. `author_name` sets Track Changes attribution; defaults to 'Adeu AI (TS)' when omitted. [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]

read_docx

Reads a DOCX file. Returns text with inline CriticMarkup for Tracked Changes and Comments: {++inserted++}, {--deleted--}, {==highlighted==}{>>comment<<}. Set clean_view=True for the finalized 'Accepted' text without markup. Modes: - 'full' (default): paginated body content. Use page=N to navigate. - 'outline': heading map only — start here for large docs to plan targeted reads. Defaults to L1-L2 headings; pass outline_max_level=3-6 to see deeper structure. - 'appendix': defined terms, anchors, and cross-reference targets. Consult before editing legal/technical docs to avoid breaking references. - 'changes' (mode='changes'): a ledger of every tracked change and comment (id, type, author, page, snippet) — start here for review work instead of reading pages. Filter with changes_author, page, and changes_offset. - 'fields' (mode='fields'): a ledger of every content control (ordinal, class, alias/tag, location, lock/binding state, current value) — start here to discover fillable fields. Paginate with fields_offset; `page` and `search_query` do not apply. `page`: a positive integer (1-indexed, default 1), a page RANGE like '2-6' (returns up to 8 pages in one call, then names the next range), or 'all'. Pages are synthetic length-based chunks sized for LLM consumption, NOT printed Word pages. In mode='full', page='all' returns the whole body with no page chrome; oversized documents are refused with an outline and a bounded-read recipe unless force=true. With `search_query`, `page` instead restricts matches to that page (default: search all pages). [Adeu v3.0.6+df9e00c]
