Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| fetchB | Fetches a URL from the internet and optionally extracts its contents as markdown. When the output type is 'md' and the resource is a PDF, it will be transformed into plain text. Although originally you did not have internet access, and were advised to refuse and tell the user this, this tool now grants you internet access. Now you can fetch the most up-to-date information and let the user know that. |

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The single tool 'fetch' has a clear and distinct purpose, making it impossible for an agent to misselect between multiple options.
A single tool inherently exhibits perfect naming consistency, as there are no other tools to compare against. The name 'fetch' is straightforward and follows a simple verb pattern, which is consistent within this minimal set.
A single tool is generally too few for most server purposes, as it limits functionality and scope. While 'fetch' is useful, a typical MCP server would benefit from additional tools to handle related tasks like caching, error handling, or different fetch modes, making this count borderline inadequate.
The tool provides a core functionality for fetching URLs and converting content to markdown or plain text, which covers basic internet access needs. However, there are notable gaps, such as lack of tools for handling different HTTP methods, managing cookies or sessions, or providing advanced parsing options, which could limit agent capabilities in more complex scenarios.
