Here's a quick excerpt from the manual:
When you use the Run AppleScript Filter operation, your script
should be written with an entry point named “ApplyTextTransform”.
The input parameter to this entry point is a Unicode string
containing the file’s contents. This entry point should return the
file’s contents as a Unicode string (or something which can be
directly coerced to one):
on ApplyTextTransform (fileData)
-- do something to fileData
return fileData -- or some reasonable facsimile thereof
end
• Unix filters run from text factories get their input on STDIN, and
should write any content they want passed to the next filter stage
to STDOUT. (Unlike Unix filters run from the Shebang menu, text
factories do not pass a temp file in argv[1].)
Enjoy,
R.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
