Web-content reader

agent_web_reader
Read-only

Paid (x402, $0.002 USDC on Base). Fetch any http(s) URL and return clean readable text, title/description/canonical, and outbound links as JSON — the data an agent ingests on each step of a crawl/RAG loop.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate read-only and open-world behavior; the description adds the paid cost ($0.002 USDC) and the exact output structure (clean text, title, canonical, outbound links). This goes beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single, information-dense sentence that front-loads the cost warning and immediately states the function and output. No redundant words or unnecessary details.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description adequately covers the return format and the payment flow. It lacks error handling or rate-limit details, but for a straightforward fetch tool with simple parameters, the information is mostly complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-specific details beyond mentioning the payment indicator, but the schema already fully documents the url and x402_payment fields.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool fetches any http(s) URL and returns structured JSON with text, metadata, and outbound links. It is specific and easily distinguished from unrelated siblings like crypto_market_signal and github_repo_seo_audit.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly frames the tool as part of a crawl/RAG loop, giving a clear usage context. It doesn't state exclusions or alternatives, but given the sibling tools are unrelated, the implied guidance is sufficient.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
