Do not request mmd as a conversion format - it is automatic and download-only
Do not put mmd in conversion_formats when submitting a document - it errors with opts_unknown_conversion_formats. Use this skill when the task matches the title above. Not for unrelated tools or errors; check the tool's own docs for those.
TL;DR
Do not put mmd in conversionformats when submitting a document - it errors with optsunknownconversionformats. Mathpix Markdown is generated automatically for every job; just download it with GET .mmd after processing completes. Only formats marked Conversion (docx, latex, tex.zip, xlsx, etc.) are valid keys in that object.
Fix
Do not put mmd in conversionformats when submitting a document - it errors with optsunknownconversionformats. Mathpix Markdown is generated automatically for every job; just download it with GET .mmd after processing completes. Only formats marked Conversion (docx, latex, tex.zip, xlsx, etc.) are valid keys in that object.
Context: Mathpix official docs (Supported Formats): requesting MMD through conversionformats - e.g. {"mmd": true} - returns an optsunknownconversionformats error. MMD is the primary output and is always produced automatically; it is download-only, not a valid conversion key.
