Web Fetch
Retrieve the contents of a specific URL as Markdown.
Steps
- Call the
web_fetch tool with action="fetch" and the target url.
- Set
max_tokens to keep the returned Markdown within your context budget.
- Enable
use_cache (default) to avoid re-fetching within 5 minutes.
- Pass
allowed_domains to restrict fetches to trusted hosts.
Validation
- The tool returns
status: success with markdown, title, and token_count.
- Oversized pages are truncated and flagged with
truncated: true.
- Failures return
status: error without raising into the agent context.
