Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 4 of 51 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

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 →
discover_links ~279
Discover all links on a webpage. Use this BEFORE fetch_batch to find relevant URLs. USE THIS TOOL WHEN: - Exploring a documentation site to find relevant pages - Building a list of URLs to fetch in batch - Finding all subpages under a section (e.g., all /api/ docs) - Checking what content exists before deciding what to read RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW: 1. discover_links(url="https://docs.example.com/", filter_pattern="/guide/") 2. Review the returned links and select relevant ones 3. fetch_batch(urls=[selected_urls], max_length_per_url=1500) FILTER EXAMPLES: - filter_pattern="/docs/" → Only links containing '/docs/' - filter_pattern="getting-started|quickstart" → Links with either term - filter_pattern="\.md$" → Only markdown file links NOTES: - Returns up to 100 links (more are noted but omitted to save context) - Relative URLs are automatically resolved to absolute URLs - JavaScript/mailto/anchor links are excluded
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filter_pattern | string | – | Regex to filter links. Examples: '/docs/', '\.pdf$', 'api|guide'. Leave empty for all links. |
| url | string | yes | The webpage URL to scan for links (e.g., a docs index or sitemap) |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
fetch ~386
Fetch a single webpage and extract its main content as clean markdown. USE THIS TOOL WHEN: - You need to read an article, documentation page, or blog post - You want clean, readable text without boilerplate (navbars, ads, footers) - The user provides a specific URL to read DO NOT USE WHEN: - You need to fetch multiple URLs (use fetch_batch instead - fewer round trips) - You want to discover what pages exist on a site (use discover_links first) PAGINATION: Large pages are automatically truncated. The response will include 'use start_index=N to continue' - call again with that value to get more content. EXAMPLES: - fetch(url="https://docs.example.com/guide") → Get documentation page - fetch(url="https://example.com/api", max_length=2000) → Shorter response to save context - fetch(url="https://example.com/data", include_tables=True) → Preserve tabular data
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bypass_robots_txt | boolean | – | Skip robots.txt check. Only for user-initiated requests. |
| get_raw_html | boolean | – | Skip extraction and return raw HTML. Use when you need original markup or extraction fails. |
| include_links | boolean | – | Preserve hyperlinks in markdown. Enable to follow references. |
| include_metadata | boolean | – | Include title, author, date at top. Disable to save tokens. |
| include_tables | boolean | – | Preserve tables in markdown. Disable for text-only articles. |
| max_length | integer | – | Maximum characters to return. Use 1000-2000 for summaries, 5000 (default) for full content. |
| start_index | integer | – | Character offset for pagination. Use the value from 'start_index=N' in truncated responses. |
| url | string | yes | The webpage URL to fetch (must be http:// or https://) |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
fetch_batch ~256
Fetch multiple webpages in a single request and return combined content. USE THIS TOOL WHEN: - You have 2-10 URLs to read (e.g., from discover_links results) - Comparing content across multiple pages - Gathering context from several documentation pages at once KEY BENEFIT: One tool call instead of multiple fetch() calls = fewer round trips, faster results, and reduced overhead in supervised/approval workflows. WORKFLOW EXAMPLE: 1. discover_links(url="https://docs.example.com", filter_pattern="/api/") 2. fetch_batch(urls=[...returned links...], max_length_per_url=1500) NOTES: - Each URL's content is separated by '---' dividers - Failed URLs show inline errors without stopping other fetches - Robots.txt is NOT checked for batch fetches (assumes prior discovery)
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| get_raw_html | boolean | – | Skip content extraction and return raw HTML for all URLs. |
| max_length_per_url | integer | – | Character limit per URL. Use 1000-1500 when fetching many pages. Default 2000. |
| urls | array | yes | List of webpage URLs to fetch (max 10). URLs are fetched sequentially and results combined. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
fetch_llms_txt ~270
Fetch and parse an llms.txt file to discover LLM-friendly documentation. USE THIS TOOL WHEN: - A site provides an llms.txt file for AI-friendly content discovery - You need to understand what documentation is available - You want to fetch structured docs in a single request WHAT IS llms.txt: A proposal for sites to provide LLM-friendly content at /llms.txt. It's a markdown file listing documentation links with descriptions. See https://llmstxt.org for the specification. WORKFLOW: 1. fetch_llms_txt(url="https://example.com/llms.txt") → Get structure 2. Review sections and links 3. Either use include_content=True or fetch_batch for specific pages EXAMPLES: - fetch_llms_txt(url="https://fastht.ml/docs/llms.txt") - fetch_llms_txt(url="https://example.com/llms.txt", include_content=True)
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| include_content | boolean | – | If true, also fetch content of all linked pages. Default false. |
| max_length_per_url | integer | – | When include_content=True, max chars per linked page. Default 2000. |
| url | string | yes | URL to an llms.txt file (e.g., https://example.com/llms.txt) |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
