A web-page fetching skill that retrieves and summarizes the content of a supplied URL.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch an HTML page and answer a specific question about its contents.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a defined way to read HTML pages when the built-in page-fetching feature is unavailable.

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.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

webfetch 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/webfetch.cjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

WebFetch

This skill replaces the built-in WebFetch tool when unavailable.

Fetch web page content and return it for analysis.

Usage

Run the fetch script with the URL and prompt as JSON stdin:

echo '{"url":"URL","prompt":"QUESTION"}' | node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/webfetch/scripts/webfetch.cjs"

The script accepts JSON on stdin with this schema:

  • url (string, required, must be a valid URL): The URL of the page to fetch
  • prompt (string, required): The question to answer about the page content

The script outputs the page content to stdout. Errors and diagnostic messages are written to stderr.

HTTP URLs are automatically upgraded to HTTPS. Cross-host redirects are reported but not followed. Only HTML content types (text/html, application/xhtml) are supported.

Use the fetched content to answer the user's question about the page.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
