oxidize-pdf: NaN/inf bypass in colour content-stream emission causes PDF rejection (DoS)

### Impact `oxidize-pdf` defines `Color` as a `pub enum` with public tuple-struct variants `Rgb(f64, f64, f64)`, `Gray(f64)`, and `Cmyk(f64, f64, f64, f64)`. The constructors `Color::rgb`, `Color::gray`, and `Color::cmyk` clamp incoming components to `[0.0, 1.0]`, but because the variants are `pub`, callers can construct values directly without going through the constructors: ```rust let safe = Color::rgb(f64::NAN, 0.5, 0.5); // clamps NaN to 0.0 let attack = Color::Rgb(f64::NAN,

AI-ready (MCP)	Built-in	No	No

MCP Server

Give your AI agent full PDF capabilities in one line:

oxidize-mcp

The built-in Model Context Protocol server exposes 12 tools, 6 resources, and 5 prompts — compatible with Claude, GPT, and any MCP client.

Claude Desktop integration

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oxidize-pdf": {
      "command": "oxidize-mcp",
      "env": {
        "OXIDIZE_WORKSPACE": "/path/to/your/pdfs"
      }
    }
  }
}

GitHub Copilot (VS Code) integration

Copilot's agent mode speaks MCP. Add .vscode/mcp.json to your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "oxidize-pdf": {
      "command": "oxidize-mcp",
      "env": {
        "OXIDIZE_WORKSPACE": "/path/to/your/pdfs"
      }
    }
  }
}

Open the Chat view, switch to Agent mode, and the 12 PDF tools appear in the tool picker. (The same block also works under the mcp.servers key in your user settings.json if you prefer a global install.)

OpenAI Agents SDK integration

The OpenAI Agents SDK spawns the server over stdio and exposes its tools to an agent:

from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerStdio

async with MCPServerStdio(
    params={"command": "oxidize-mcp", "env": {"OXIDIZE_WORKSPACE": "/path/to/your/pdfs"}},
    cache_tools_list=True,
) as server:
    agent = Agent(
        name="PDF assistant",
        instructions="Use the oxidize-pdf tools to inspect and manipulate PDFs.",
        mcp_servers=[server],
    )
    result = await Runner.run(agent, "How many pages does report.pdf have?")
    print(result.final_output)

A runnable version is in examples/openai_agents_quickstart.py.

Both integrations run the server locally over stdio, so its tools operate on PDFs in the configured workspace directory. Remote/hosted use (e.g. the OpenAI Responses API hosted MCP tool) needs an HTTP transport and is not yet exposed.
