write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
visus_fetchFetch and sanitize web page content. Returns clean, injection-free content in markdown or text format. SECURITY: All content passes through prompt injection sanitization (43 pattern categories) and PII redaction BEFORE reaching the LLM. This ensures safe consumption of untrusted web content.
visus_fetch_structuredFetch a web page and extract structured data according to a schema. SECURITY: All extracted fields pass through prompt injection sanitization (43 pattern categories) and PII redaction BEFORE being returned to the LLM. Each field is independently sanitized to ensure safe consumption of untrusted web content.
visus_readExtracts clean article content from a web page using Mozilla Readability, stripping navigation, ads, and boilerplate. Full prompt injection sanitization and PII redaction applied before content reaches the LLM. Optimized for context-efficient, safe web reading in Claude Desktop.
visus_searchSearches the web via DuckDuckGo and returns sanitized results with prompt injection and PII removed before reaching the LLM. Use before visus_fetch or visus_read to safely discover and then read pages.
