Agent Search MCP

free_extract

Read-onlyIdempotent

Extract full content from any public URL and get clean markdown text. Ideal for reading specific pages with complete context.

Instructions

Extract full content from a URL. Returns clean markdown text.

Best for: Reading a specific page found in search results to get full context. Not recommended for: Bulk extraction — use free_search first to find relevant pages.

Behavior: Makes an outbound HTTP request to Jina Reader (r.jina.ai) which fetches and converts the page to markdown. Has SSRF protection: blocks private IPs, localhost, and metadata endpoints. 10s request timeout — pages exceeding this will fail with a timeout error. HTTP errors (4xx, 5xx) are returned as structured error responses.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesURL to extract content from. Supports any public web page URL (http/https). For best results, use a complete URL including the protocol (https://).
max_lengthNoMaximum characters to return (default: 5000). Content beyond this limit is truncated. Increase for long articles, decrease for quick snippets.
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, but the description adds valuable behavioral details: outbound HTTP request via Jina Reader, SSRF protection, 10s timeout, and error handling. No contradiction with 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?

The description is front-loaded with the core purpose, then structured with bullet-like sections for usage guidance and behavior. Every sentence is informative and nothing is redundant.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (2 parameters, no output schema) and rich annotations, the description covers behavioral constraints, error handling, and use cases comprehensively.

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 coverage is 100% with detailed descriptions for both parameters. The description does not add new semantics beyond the schema, so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific verb 'Extract full content from a URL' and clarifies the output as 'clean markdown text'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like free_search (search) and site-specific fetchers by focusing on general page extraction.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly provides 'Best for' (reading a specific page from search results) and 'Not recommended for' (bulk extraction) with an alternative (free_search), guiding the agent on when to use this tool.

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