Description
Hey all,
Using the MCP tool over docker, I get the following error trying to get markdown for any image file:
Error executing tool convert_to_markdown: File conversion failed after 1 attempts:
- ImageConverter threw RuntimeError with message: ExifTool version 12.16 is vulnerable to CVE-2021-22204. Please upgrade to version 12.24 or later.
