read_url

read_url is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ParendumOU/Nexora. It costs 0 tokens per session (108 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web-page reader that fetches and parses content from a public URL. It is intended to run after web search when you need the full page.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading public documentation, articles, and other URL content; APIs should instead be fetched as raw JSON with an HTTP request tool.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually open and extract text from a web page, while noting that JavaScript-heavy pages need a browser tool.

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

read_url 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (executor.py), 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

Read URL

Fetch, parse content of public URL.

Usage

  • Use after web_search → read full content of result
  • JS-heavy pages: use playwright_navigate instead
  • Respect robots.txt, rate limits — no hammering same domain
  • APIs: prefer http_request → raw JSON control

Example

[{"name": "read_url", "args": {"url": "https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html"}}]
Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.
