Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00286 | $0.00286 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00143 | $0.00143 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00057 | $0.00057 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
web-forager AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Repository guidance
Purpose
Web Forager provides web search, news search, and URL fetching for AI agents. It
exposes the capabilities through a FastMCP STDIO server and a CLI, and packages
agent workflows under skills/.
Search and news use ddgs. Fetching tries direct HTTP with trafilatura, then
falls back to Jina Reader.
Change contract
- Read the relevant implementation and tests before editing.
- Keep changes focused and consistent with existing patterns.
- Treat
src/web_forager/_version.pyas generated bysetuptools_scm. - When CLI flags or MCP tool behavior changes, update the corresponding tests
and
README.mddocumentation in the same change. - Keep credentials and other secrets out of source, configuration, fixtures, logs, and documentation.
Development
Install the development dependencies:
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
Run the narrowest relevant test first, then use the full checks when the change can affect multiple components:
pytest
mypy src
black --check src
isort --check-only src
Use the CLI smoke tests documented in README.md when changing search, news,
fetch, or CLI behavior.
Agent workflow references
- Before editing README prose or structure, read
docs/agents/readme-style.md.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
