Index: Run qsv_index on the file for fast random access in subsequent steps.
Detect source format: Run qsv_sniff to identify the input format, delimiter, and encoding.
Convert: Use the appropriate command based on the target format:
To CSV (from Excel/JSONL): The MCP server handles this automatically when you pass non-CSV files to any qsv tool. Use qsv_command with excel for explicit control over sheet selection.
To TSV: Use qsv_command with command: "fmt", options: {"out-delimiter": "\t"}.
To JSONL: Use qsv_command with command: "tojsonl".
To Parquet: Use qsv_to_parquet (dedicated core tool).
Verify output: Run qsv_count on the output (if CSV-based) to confirm row count matches input.
