page_extract

Render any public web page in a real headless Chrome and return its text. JavaScript runs first, so docs sites and single-page apps that a plain fetch returns empty come back complete. $1 per call (x402 on Arc/Base/Solana/X1): the full text and every outbound link. Without a payment the call returns the price and every rail we accept. Refuses private and reserved addresses and our own hosts, so it cannot be used as a proxy into a network. Sites that put a bot wall in front of their pages (Cloudflare, DataDome and the like) answer with a challenge rather than the page: the call then FAILS with http-403 or bot-challenge and says so, rather than charging you for a spinner.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesthe http(s) page to render
fullNotrue asks for the paid full text. Without a payment you get a 402 carrying the price and every rail we accept; sign it and call again with `payment`.
paymentNoa signed x402 payment (the same base64 payload you would put in the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header). Pass it here and the purchase completes inside this tool call - you never have to leave MCP.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden and delivers thoroughly: it discloses the $1-per-call pricing, the 402-with-rails behavior when unpaid, the payment-completes-inside-call flow, SSRF protections, and the exact failure modes (http-403/bot-challenge) with an assurance the caller isn't charged for a spinner. Exceptionally transparent for a paid mutation-style tool.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Longer than average, but every sentence earns its place given the tool's complexity (pricing, payment flow, security constraints, failure modes). The core purpose is front-loaded and the length is justified, though it could be tightened without losing substance.

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?

For a paid tool with a payment flow and no output schema, the description covers rendering behavior, pricing, payment mechanics, SSRF refusal, and bot-wall failures. The only gap is the return format of the 'full text' and links payload, which would help an agent parse results, but overall it is highly complete for the tool's complexity.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real value beyond the schema: it explains the end-to-end payment lifecycle (get a 402 with price and rails, sign it, pass the payload via `payment` to complete inside the call) and clarifies that `full` buys full text plus every outbound link. This enriches the terse schema wording.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Render any public web page in a real headless Chrome and return its text'). Distinguishes behaviorally from a plain fetch and the likely sibling site_extract by noting JavaScript runs first so docs sites and SPAs come back complete. The purpose is unmistakable.

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?

Gives clear context for when the tool shines (JS-heavy docs sites, single-page apps that a plain fetch returns empty) and notes capability limits (refuses private/reserved addresses, can't proxy into a network, bot walls fail). Stops short of explicitly naming an alternative tool for simple static pages or a when-not-to-use routing, so it earns 4 rather than 5.

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