Clone a public web page into a hosted site. Fetches the URL, walks
its same-origin assets (CSS, JS, images, fonts), rewrites references to
local paths, and uploads everything as a working hosted copy in one shot.
==========================================================================
USE THIS WHEN THE USER SAYS
==========================================================================
- "clone this site / page / website"
- "copy this site / page"
- "mirror this site"
- "duplicate this page"
- "save this website"
- "make me a version of <URL>"
- "I want this page on my own domain"
- "rip this page", "fork this site", "backup this site"
If a user pastes a URL and wants their own copy of what's there — this is
the tool. The agent should not try to recreate the page from memory or by
describing what it sees: that is slow, lossy, and burns your context window
for no benefit. `clone_site` produces a byte-accurate copy in seconds and
leaves your context free for the iteration the user actually wants
(rewriting copy, swapping images, restyling, etc.).
==========================================================================
WHAT IT DOES
==========================================================================
Default behavior is to crawl assets so the cloned page actually renders.
Set `crawlAssets: false` to save only the single HTML response without
following any assets — useful when you only want the markup.
Only http:// and https:// URLs are allowed. Private, loopback, and
cloud-metadata addresses are refused. Per-asset cap 10MB; per-clone caps
50 files and 50MB total. Cross-origin asset URLs are kept as-is (not
fetched) so external CDN references still resolve.
If the user wants a polished, researched site (logo, original copy, SEO,
mobile-ready, multi-page) rather than a clone of someone else's page, send
