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 Security50

- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 3 of 43 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency48
- 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
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 145 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability67
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 578 tokens (~578/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management83
- Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 1 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

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 →
fetch_url_as_markdown Fetch Url As Markdown ~578
Fetch a URL and return the main content as Markdown. First tries a plain HTTP request with an Accept: text/markdown header. If the server responds with Content-Type: text/markdown (e.g. Cloudflare Markdown for Agents sites), the body is returned immediately without launching a browser. Otherwise, uses patchright (a Playwright fork with anti-detection patches) to drive real Chromium, which clears most Cloudflare bot challenges and renders JavaScript-required pages. A single headless Chromium instance is kept alive across calls so subsequent fetches avoid the browser cold-start cost (~2-5s). After navigation, polls the page DOM and runs trafilatura, returning as soon as the extracted Markdown stabilizes across two consecutive polls — typically within a few hundred milliseconds of the DOM being built, regardless of whether trackers, ads, and analytics are still loading in the background.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| headless | boolean | – | Whether to run Chromium headless. Default True. Set to False to use a visible browser window — slower and pops a Chromium window on screen, but clears bot-detection challenges (Cloudflare, etc.) that… |
| poll_budget_ms | integer | – | Maximum time after navigation to wait for content extraction to stabilize. Default 5000. Increase for slow SPAs that progressively render content over many seconds, or when using headless=False on bo… |
| poll_interval_ms | integer | – | How often to re-attempt extraction during polling. Default 250. |
| timeout_ms | integer | – | Navigation timeout in milliseconds. Default 60000. This is the budget for the navigation step only; content extraction has its own separate budget (poll_budget_ms). |
| url | string | yes | The URL to fetch. |
| wait_until | string | – | When the navigation step is considered complete. "domcontentloaded" (default) returns when the HTML is parsed and the DOM is built. "load" waits for all subresources (images, scripts, stylesheets) —… |
