fetch

A web-page reader that loads the actual content of one to ten URLs and returns it as Markdown, HTML, or structured JSON. It can also render pages that build their content in a browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read articles, documentation, listings, and other web pages for coding or research tasks, including several URLs at once.
Why use it?
It avoids relying on summaries, incomplete snippets, or broken results from pages that need JavaScript. Parallel fetching and content filtering can reduce repeated work and unnecessary page text.

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

fetch 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TinyFish Fetch

Free, token-efficient content extraction via the bundled TinyFish MCP server (fetch_content tool). Renders pages in a real browser and returns clean, structured content — actual page text, not a lossy summary — so it handles JavaScript-heavy and dynamic pages that raw HTTP fetching can't.

When to use this over built-in fetch

  • It's free and returns clean, deduplicated content instead of raw markup, so it costs fewer tokens to read.
  • It renders in a real browser, so it works on JS-heavy pages that a plain HTTP fetch would return empty or broken.
  • It fetches up to 10 URLs in parallel in a single call — no need for repeated round-trips.
  • Optional CSS-selector scoping (include_selectors/exclude_selectors) lets you pull just the content that matters and skip boilerplate, and conditional-request support (if_none_match/if_modified_since) avoids re-fetching unchanged pages.

Parameters

  • urls (required) — 1-10 URLs, fetched in parallel; one failing doesn't block the others
  • format"markdown" (default, best for LLM consumption), "html" (cleaned semantic HTML), or "json" (structured document tree)
  • links — include all outbound links from each page
  • image_links — include all image URLs from each page
  • include_selectors / exclude_selectors — arrays of CSS selectors to scope extraction to, or strip out before extraction
  • if_none_match / if_modified_since — replay a prior ETag/Last-Modified validator (single URL only). Only works on the fast (non-browser-rendered) path — a browser-rendered URL may return conditional_unsupported; if so, retry without the validators.
  • include_etag_and_last_modified — opt in to receiving validators on each result for future conditional requests
  • per_url_timeout_ms — independent timeout budget per URL
  • purpose — optional short note on why you're fetching, used to tailor extraction

Response includes per URL: url, final_url, title, language, author, published_date, text (and links/image_links if requested).

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.

fetch is a skill published in the GitHub repository tinyfish-io/tinyfish-cookbook (2,135 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 710 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
