capture_url

Fetch a web page, block private/loopback addresses, and save its readable content as a note. Returns the new note ID for project memory.

Instructions

Fetch a web page (SSRF-guarded: private/loopback addresses are rejected) and save its readable content as a note. Returns the new note's id.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYeshttp(s) URL to capture
projectNoproject slug; defaults to the bound/ambient session's project. An unknown slug CREATES that project -- naming a new one is normal and never an error. Pass project=global ONLY for knowledge that belongs in EVERY project's briefing; it is not a neutral default. With no session and no explicit project the call is rejected as ambiguous. A session bound to a confidential or sealed project can write ONLY into that project.
sessionNothe session to act as: the name session_start returned, the cc/<id> or cx/<id> on your briefing's 'Seam session' line, or a session ULID. It scopes and credits this call. Defaults to this connection's session; pass it on every call when session_start reports the connection as stateless

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already flag a non-read-only, non-idempotent, open-world write, and the description usefully adds the SSRF guard (private/loopback addresses rejected) and the return value (the new note's id). It does not explain what happens on repeated calls or content-extraction failures, but the security constraint is meaningful context beyond the annotations.

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?

Two compact sentences with zero waste, front-loading the fetch action and its security constraint before the return value. Every clause earns its place.

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 compensates by stating the return value (the new note's id) and the write semantics. Combined with the fully documented schema, an agent has enough to call it correctly, though failure/retry behavior is unaddressed.

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 schema already fully documents url, project, and session. The description adds nothing about parameter formats or defaults, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description states a specific verb+resource pair: fetch a web page and save its readable content as a note. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like notes_create or memory_write, which do not fetch external content. It stops short of naming a sibling explicitly, so it is clear but not maximally differentiated.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description explains what the tool does but offers no explicit when-to-use versus alternatives (e.g., when to prefer notes_create for pasted content). No exclusions or preconditions are stated beyond the SSRF guard. Usage is only inferable from the verb.

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