Use when the user asks about an equation, formula, derivation, loss function, algorithm, figure, table, or other visually-formatted technical content from a library document — Marker's PDF extraction generally produces correct LaTeX for math, but it can degrade with subscript/superscript collapse (`QWQ i` instead of `QW^Q_i`), escape-sequence remnants like `\n(1)` at equation tails, empty math delimiters, empty `` markers, broken markdown tables, or `show_document` reporting `**Status:** needs_review`. Default flow: retrieve the markdown, inspect for those genuine garbling cues; if cues fire, escalate to the PDF via `Read` at the path from `show_document`. Provenance is mandatory either way: cite chunk index for markdown-sourced content, page number for PDF-sourced content. Do not ask the user to retype.
