    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    fetch_urlFetch a URL with full reliability — retry, circuit breaker, cache, and anti-bot bypass. Returns both raw HTML and clean markdown. Automatically retries on failure with exponential backoff, falls back to plain HTTP if browser fetch fails, and circuit-breaks domains that are consistently down. Args: url: The URL to fetch use_cache: Whether to use cached results (default: true, TTL 1 hour) js_render: Whether to render JavaScript (default: true, disable for speed) wait_for: CSS selector to wait for before capturing (e.g., '.results-loaded')
    fetch_markdownFetch a URL and return clean markdown text optimized for LLM consumption. Same reliability as fetch_url but returns only the markdown content, stripping HTML, scripts, and noise. Best for when you need the page content for analysis, summarization, or data extraction. Args: url: The URL to fetch use_cache: Whether to use cached results (default: true) wait_for: CSS selector to wait for before capturing
    check_domainCheck the health status of a domain. Returns the circuit breaker state: 'closed' (healthy), 'open' (failing), or 'half_open' (testing recovery). Use this before batch operations to avoid wasting time on domains that are down. Args: domain: The domain to check (e.g., 'example.com')
    cache_statsGet cache statistics — size and item count. Useful for monitoring cache utilization and deciding when to clear.
    clear_cacheClear the entire fetch cache. Use when you need fresh data and don't want to rely on cached results.
