A purpose-built fetch tool, separate from generic http_request / curl. It exists because the agent doesn't want raw HTML - it wants the article.
- Fetches a URL.
- Strips boilerplate (nav, ads, footer, scripts).
- Returns clean text the agent can reason over.
- Caps response at 1 MB - large pages get truncated, not silently dropped.
- 20-second timeout - slow servers don't stall the conversation.
- Subject to the same proxy and URL-guard rules as other network tools.
- Reading articles, blog posts, docs pages, GitHub READMEs without the noise.
- Following up on a Web Search result.
- Summarising a single page on demand.
- Web Search - find URLs to feed into the scraper.
- Smart Token Compression - what trims long pages before they hit the model.
