Public tool metadata - what this server can do for an agent.
read_url1 paramFetch one publicly reachable URL and return clean, LLM-ready markdown (title + page description + word count + markdown). HTML pages are extracted to markdown — including HTML tables, which become GitHub-flavored Markdown tables; URLs pointing straight at a Markdown or plain-text document (raw READMEs, llms.txt, docs) are passed through verbatim. Polite by design: honors the origin's robots.txt for our user-agent, identifies honestly, read-only GET, never bypasses anti-bot/CAPTCHA/paywalls. Free. JavaScript-rendered pages and screenshots/PDF are not supported yet.
urlstringrequiredabsolute http(s) URL of a publicly reachable HTML page
read_url_preview1 paramLike read_url but returns only the page description + the first ~600 characters of the markdown (title + word count + a truncation flag) — a cheap way to check a page's relevance before pulling the full text. Free.

What it gives an agent
Give it one publicly reachable URL; get back the page as clean, LLM-ready markdown — title, word count, and the text — without parsing raw HTML yourself. Server-rendered (static) HTML pages. Ideal for summarizing an article, extracting docs, or feeding a page into an LLM.

Charter-clean by design (the bright line)
This is a polite reader, not a scraper:
- Honors the origin's
robots.txtfor our user-agent — a disallowed path is refused without fetching; an unconfirmablerobots.txt(5xx/error) is treated conservatively as disallowed. - Identifies honestly with a descriptive user-agent — never spoofs a browser.
- Read-only
GETof the single URL you supply — no crawl, no proxy rotation. - Never bypasses anti-bot/CAPTCHA, paywalls, or login walls.
- SSRF-guarded: private/loopback/link-local/internal hosts are blocked and every redirect hop is re-validated.
You are responsible for your right to fetch the URL you submit.
Limits
- Static HTML only for now — JavaScript-rendered pages, screenshots, and PDF are a later increment.
- Body cap ~2 MB, fetch timeout ~12 s.
- The service holds no keys and never initiates payments.
