+- Call get_document_structure() to identify relevant sections.
+- Call get_page_content(pages=...) to fetch content:
+- For PDF documents: use page number ranges like "5-7" or "3,8"
+- For Markdown documents: use ONLY the exact line_num values from the
+structure,
+separated by commas. Example: "3,53,69". Do NOT use ranges.
+Each line_num represents a complete section node — you will receive

 Answer based only on tool output. Be concise.
