- Reading technical articles and blogs
- Retrieving research reports and announcements
- Reading GitHub README / Wiki pages
Usage
Call the read_url tool directly (do not use bash + requests, call the tool directly):

{
"status": "ok",
"title": "Page title",
"url": "Original URL",
"content": "Page content in Markdown format",
"length": 12345
}
Notes
