web-fetch

web-fetch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Podbay-Cloud/podbay. It costs 122 tokens per session (5,126 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A web-research guide for fetching public online content through several access methods. It also covers a relay connection for crawlers, scripts, and Playwright, a browser-automation tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports retrieving public pages through official APIs, direct requests, archives, reader services, or an owner's relay, and using the relay for automated web requests.
Why use it?
It helps when a website cannot be reached directly by trying documented alternatives and reporting access limits honestly.

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 C, and why

web-fetch scanned grade C with 2 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 5d 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.

Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

explicit "no". Never collect credentials, and never touch content behind an account the user hasn't

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

**Prefer it over hand-rolling curl.** Not for convenience — for honesty. Verification is *enforced*

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
