agent-web — URL to LLM-ready markdown: a polite, robots-respecting web page reader (free) tools (5)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsread_urlFreeFetch one publicly reachable URL and return clean, LLM-ready markdown (title + page description + word count + markdown). HTML pages are extracted to markdown — including HTML tables, which become GitHub-flavored Markdown tables; URLs pointing straight at a Markdown or plain-text document (raw READMEs, llms.txt, docs) are passed through verbatim. Polite by design: honors the origin's robots.txt for our user-agent, identifies honestly, read-only GET, never bypasses anti-bot/CAPTCHA/paywalls. Free. JavaScript-rendered pages are not supported yet.
read_url_previewFreeLike read_url but returns only the page description + the first ~600 characters of the markdown (title + word count + a truncation flag) — a cheap way to check a page's relevance before pulling the full text. Free.
render_pdfFreePAID (x402): returns x402 payment instructions for a PDF render of a publicly reachable URL, via a real, robots-respecting headless browser. Currently soft-skips 503 until Cloudflare Browser Rendering is provisioned.
render_previewFreeFree discovery stub for the screenshot/PDF render lane. Same robots/SSRF guards as read_url. Currently returns a 503 (no charge) until Cloudflare Browser Rendering is provisioned on this account.
render_screenshotFreePAID (x402): returns x402 payment instructions for a PNG screenshot of a publicly reachable URL, rendered via a real, robots-respecting headless browser. Use render_preview (free) first. Currently soft-skips 503 until Cloudflare Browser Rendering is provisioned.

What it gives an agent

Charter-clean by design (the bright line)
This is a polite reader, not a scraper:
- Honors the origin's robots.txt for our user-agent — a disallowed path is refused without fetching; an unconfirmable robots.txt (5xx/error) is treated conservatively as disallowed.
- Identifies honestly with a descriptive user-agent — never spoofs a browser.
- Read-only GET of the single URL you supply — no crawl, no proxy rotation.
- Never bypasses anti-bot/CAPTCHA, paywalls, or login walls.
- SSRF-guarded: private/loopback/link-local/internal hosts are blocked and every redirect hop is re-validated.
You are responsible for your right to fetch the URL you submit.
Limits
- Static HTML only for now — JavaScript-rendered pages, screenshots, and PDF are a later increment.
- Body cap ~2 MB, fetch timeout ~12 s.
- The service holds no keys and never initiates payments.
