Unverified: 1 category
A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
domain_reliability Which fetch routes work for a site ~74
Pass rates per route (plain HTTP, browser, providers) for a domain over the last 30 days, from real verified fetches. Use it to choose mode/max_cost before fetching a hard site. Free, no key needed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | yes | Domain or URL, e.g. zillow.com |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
fetch_page Fetch a web page (verified) ~214
Fetch a public URL and get its content only if it really loaded. Checks for block pages, CAPTCHAs, login walls and empty JavaScript shells, and retries through other routes (including a headless browser) automatically. Billed only on success. Returns markdown by default. If ok is false, the reason says why (e.g. blocked:cloudflare, http_404, expect_text_missing): don't retry the same URL with the same settings.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| expect_selector | string | – | CSS selector that must match |
| expect_text | string | – | Text that must appear on the page for it to count as loaded, e.g. a product name |
| max_cost | integer | – | Most credits to pay: 1 static only, 2 (default) allows a browser, 10-25 allows premium unblocking |
| mode | string | – | markdown (default, main content), html (raw page), rendered (always use a browser) |
| url | string | yes | Public http(s) URL |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
