单进程 FastMCP + Scrapling 三层抓取 + PostgreSQL 缓存 + SSRF 防护
一个把 MCP 协议、网页抓取、浏览器池、反爬处理、HTML 清洗、Markdown 转换、缓存与结果存储 整合到同一个进程、同一个 Docker 容器里的爬虫服务。上游 Agent 通过 MCP 提交任意公开网页 URL，服务自动选择抓取策略并返回适合阅读的 Markdown。
Hermes Agent ──MCP (stdio / streamable-http)──▶ Crawler MCP Service ──▶ Markdown完整技术方案见 hermes-crawler-mcp-technical-design.md。
Agent 在执行任务时经常需要读取外部网页（商品页、资料页等），但直接抓取会遇到几类问题：
抓取难度分层：静态页面用普通 HTTP 即可，SPA 需要真实浏览器渲染，有反爬/风控的站点还需要隐身浏览器。为每个站点单独判断成本很高。
安全风险：任意 URL 抓取容易被用于 SSRF（探测内网、云元数据端点）；页面内容本身也可能携带提示词注入。
结果不可控：原始 HTML 又大又乱，直接塞进上下文既浪费 token 又夹带噪声。
重复抓取：同一页面被反复请求，缺少缓存与并发控制。
本服务的目标就是把这些问题在一个自闭环的服务里解决：Agent 只管给 URL，服务负责"怎么抓得到、抓得安全、转得干净、存得下来"。设计上无状态、单机即可完整闭环，请求量大后可横向扩容。

三层自动升级抓取：HTTP → 动态浏览器 → 隐身浏览器，由检测器（detector）根据响应特征逐层升级，也支持手动指定 mode。
SSRF 纵深防御：解析后校验 IP、逐跳重校验重定向、浏览器最终 URL 二次校验，拦截私网 / 元数据地址段。
HTML → Markdown：清洗噪声、保留标题/价格/规格/描述/图片链接，提取结构化数据。
提示词注入防护：页面内容一律视为不可信外部数据，Markdown front matter 标记 untrusted_external_content: true（不可被覆盖）。
缓存与结果存储：PostgreSQL 存缓存与任务元数据，本地卷 /data 存 Markdown；小结果直接返回，大结果分段读取。
并发控制与请求合并：全局并发闸门 + 单域名并发限制（max_per_domain）+ singleflight（同缓存键并发请求合并为一次上游访问），超限返回 RATE_LIMITED。
挑战识别与治理：检测到交互式挑战（滑块/验证码）立即停止逐层升级（升级也解不了，只会放大请求）；检测证据标准化（provider / matched_signal，只含短 token，不含整页 HTML/Cookie/PII）；站点专属特征按域名门控，互不误判。
挑战熔断（负缓存）：挑战/阻断后按 domain+session 记冷却期，冷却期内相同请求直接返回 COOLDOWN 不打上游；成功仅解除对应会话熔断。冷却态持久化到 PostgreSQL，跨重启不丢。
登录成功强校验：扫码登录后"跳离登录页"不再直接判成功，还需落到允许 host、非安全验证/挑战中间页、登录态 DOM（若配置）；跳到外部域名判失败、不封存 profile。
容器安全隔离：只读根文件系统、tmpfs、cap_drop ALL、no-new-privileges、非 root（uid 1000）、资源限额。
可观测性：/healthz、/metrics（Prometheus）、结构化日志 + 敏感信息脱敏。

层 | 实现 | 适用场景 |
L1 HTTP | Scrapling AsyncFetcher（curl_cffi，TLS 指纹伪装） | 静态页面，最快最省 |
L2 动态浏览器 | Scrapling AsyncDynamicSession（playwright chromium） | SPA / 需 JS 渲染 |
L3 隐身浏览器 | Scrapling AsyncStealthySession（patchright chromium， | 反爬 / 风控站点 |
L2 与 L3 复用同一套 playwright chromium 二进制（patchright 共用），容器内无需第二套浏览器。
检测器（detector）检测链：状态码 → 重定向目标 → 站点适配器挑战特征 → 通用挑战标记 → SPA 空壳 → 内容过短 → 结构化信号缺失 → URL 不匹配，任一命中即触发升级或判定终态。命中交互式挑战（滑块/验证码）时不再升级——升级到 stealth 也解不了人工挑战，只会对目标站放大请求；检测结果带标准化证据（provider / matched_signal，脱敏）。站点专属特征（如淘宝滑块）按最终 host 门控，不会误用到其他域名。
挑战熔断：交互式挑战 / 阻断状态触发后，按 domain+session 记录冷却期（challenge_cooldowns 表，跨重启持久），冷却期内相同请求直接返回 COOLDOWN 不打上游；成功仅解除对应会话的熔断。

一个可用的 PostgreSQL 实例（可与其他服务共享）。
外部 Docker 网络 hermes-net（供 MCP 服务与其他 Hermes 组件互通）：
docker network create hermes-net服务启动时只会自动建表（crawl_results、crawl_domain_rules），不会自动创建
schema 与角色。首次部署需用管理员账号手动创建独立数据库 / schema 与一个低权限专用角色——
避免 crawler-mcp 的缺陷或权限越界波及共享实例上的其他业务：
-- 用管理员连接后执行
CREATE ROLE hermes_crawler_svc WITH LOGIN PASSWORD '<强随机密码>';
-- 方案 A：独立数据库（推荐，隔离最彻底）
CREATE DATABASE hermes_crawler OWNER hermes_crawler_svc;
\connect hermes_crawler
CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS hermes_crawler AUTHORIZATION hermes_crawler_svc;
-- 方案 B：与其他服务共用一个库，仅隔离到 schema
-- CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS hermes_crawler AUTHORIZATION hermes_crawler_svc;
-- GRANT USAGE, CREATE ON SCHEMA hermes_crawler TO hermes_crawler_svc;表结构（migrations）在服务启动时由
hermes_crawler_svc自动CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS建立，因此该角色需要对hermes_crawlerschema 有CREATE权限。
cp .env.example .env编辑 .env（该文件已被 .gitignore 忽略，不要提交真实密码）：
CRAWLER_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://hermes_crawler_svc:<强随机密码>@<pg-host>:5432/hermes_crawler<pg-host> 若 PostgreSQL 也在 hermes-net 网络里可用容器名，否则用宿主机 IP / 域名。
docker compose up --build -d

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes |
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must cover behavior. It explains real-time QR capture and return of login_id, but omits expiry, idempotency, or session creation details.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single concise sentence, front-loaded with key info. Could benefit from slight restructuring to list steps or parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Description covers return values and use case but does not mention output schema (likely exists) or explicitly connect to sibling tools for complete flow.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% - description adds context that url is for sites needing login, but does not specify expected URL format (e.g., login page or main page).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool initiates QR code login for sites like JD/Taobao, returns base64 QR and login_id, distinguishing it from sibling tools like poll_login and cancel_login.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied (initiate login before polling), but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use compared to alternatives like poll_login.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

No output parameters | ||
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions 'releasing browser resources' but does not explain idempotency, error states (e.g., if login already completed), or side effects beyond that.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short (one sentence) but lacks structure. It is not front-loaded with key details, and while concise, it omits necessary information for a complete understanding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's side effects (cancellation, resource release) and available output schema, the description does not cover return values, error handling, or state requirements (e.g., login must be active). It is insufficient for reliable invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should clarify the parameter 'login_id'. It only implies it via context but does not explain its type, source, or usage. The agent must guess what value to provide.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('cancel') and the resource ('ongoing QR code login'), and the mention of releasing browser resources differentiates it from sibling tools like begin_login, poll_login, and render_qr_terminal.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use or not use this tool. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., that a login must be in progress) or alternatives, leaving the agent to infer context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description explicitly warns that web content is untrusted and not to execute instructions, which is a critical behavioral trait for a web crawler. No annotations are provided, so the description shoulders the burden, and it does so well here, though it could detail more behaviors like caching or loading types.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the main action, and includes a critical warning. Every sentence earns its place; no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description provides basic purpose and a security note, but lacks details on parameters and behavior. While an output schema exists (so return values are covered), the incomplete parameter coverage and missing guidance make it merely adequate for a tool with 6 parameters and no annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%: the description mentions none of the 6 parameters (url, mode, session_id, force_refresh, include_images, timeout_seconds). With low coverage, the description must compensate, but it fails to explain any parameter meanings or defaults.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: crawling public web pages and converting to Markdown. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools (login-related, read result) by focusing on the crawling and conversion action.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes a warning about untrusted content, providing some usage context. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like read_crawl_result, nor does it specify conditions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. States polling returns session_id upon success but omits details like polling frequency, timeout, error handling, or whether it is read-only.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded with purpose. Concise, though could include more specifics without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a polling tool with no annotations and limited description, key behavioral and parameter details are missing. Incomplete guidance for correct usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%. Description does not explain the sole parameter 'login_id' (e.g., its source or format), leaving agents without guidance on how to obtain it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool polls login status and returns session_id for crawl_url. Verb 'poll' and resource 'login status' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like begin_login and cancel_login.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies usage after login initiation and before crawl_url, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative scenarios. No mention of prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It implies read-only behavior by stating 'read completed results' and mentions segmented reading, but does not explicitly declare nondestructive nature, auth requirements, or rate limits. Adequate but minimal disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is a single sentence, no fluff, and directly states the core purpose. Could be improved by front-loading the action, but overall concise and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a 3-parameter tool with no annotations, the description lacks detail on expected output, error cases, prerequisites (e.g., job must be completed), and behavior beyond segmented reading. Incomplete for reliable agent usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameter meanings. It mentions segmented reading, which hints at offset and max_chars, but does not directly define job_id, offset, or max_chars. Insufficient detail given the complete absence of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the verb 'read' and resource 'crawl results', with additional detail about segmented reading for long documents. It distinguishes from sibling tools like crawl_url (which initiates a crawl) and login tools, making its purpose specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage context is implied: after a crawl is completed. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., crawl_url for starting, login for authentication). No 'when not to use' or prec onditions are stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavior. It explains that the tool returns an ascii_qr field that can be pasted directly, and it details the domain_mismatch conditional behavior. This adequately covers the tool's non-destructive, output-generating nature and error handling.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single paragraph that front-loads the main purpose, then provides usage guidance and error handling. It is concise with no redundant information, earning its place with every sentence.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no nested objects, output schema exists), the description covers the main use case, output format, and the important domain_mismatch edge case. It is complete enough for an AI agent to understand when and how to use the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not explicitly describe the login_id parameter or its source, but the context strongly implies it comes from begin_login. Schema coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate; it partially does by referencing 'the login QR code from begin_login', but an explicit statement linking login_id to begin_login would improve clarity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies that the tool renders a login QR code from begin_login into a plain text terminal QR code (Unicode half-block characters) for CLI/TUI scenarios. It distinguishes itself from siblings like begin_login, which generates the QR code data, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description tells when to use the tool (after begin_login returns a QR code) and provides explicit guidance on handling domain_mismatch (do not show, recall begin_login). It also states what the caller does not need to do (download images, call system tools). However, it does not explicitly exclude sibling tools or provide criteria for choosing between them, though the context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Recent tool additions, removals, and schema changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
v0.1.0begin_logincancel_logincrawl_urlpoll_loginread_crawl_resultrender_qr_terminalScored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: crawl, read results, login initiation, polling, cancellation, and terminal QR rendering. There is no overlap; even the three login tools have distinct actions (begin, poll, cancel).
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., crawl_url, begin_login, render_qr_terminal). The naming is predictable and the verb describes the action while the noun identifies the resource.
With 6 tools, the server covers the core workflow of crawling with login support without being too sparse or bloated. Each tool serves a necessary step in the process, and the count feels well-scoped.
The tool set covers the essential operations: crawling, reading results, and full login lifecycle (begin, poll, cancel, plus QR rendering). Minor gaps exist, such as lacking explicit session management or crawl configuration options, but the core functionality is complete.
