fetch-url
Fetch Web Pages as Clean Content
Web pages can be difficult for agents to read and extract consistently. This skill retrieves a URL and returns focused content in several formats.
Stop for confirmation before installing.
Review the plan and obtain explicit user consent before changing files.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "fetch-url" from https://skillstore.io/skills/dcjanus-fetch-url.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/dcjanus-fetch-url/manifest. Verify the artifact. Stop and obtain explicit user consent before installing or changing files.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.
Agent-readable resources
Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.

Security Audit
High RiskMost static alerts are false positives caused by Markdown backticks, example URLs, status identifiers, and scoped JINA_API_KEY handling. Confirmed behavior includes arbitrary URL fetching and fixed third-party services. Semantic review found SSRF exposure, automatic URL disclosure to Jina Reader, and untrusted content entering agent output without a safety boundary.

Try These Prompts
Fetch {URL} and return the main page content as Markdown.Fetch {URL}, extract readable text, and save it to {OUTPUT_PATH} using the default strategy.Fetch {URL} as Markdown using {STRATEGY}. Report which retrieval path produced the content.Fetch {URL} with browser strategy and a {TIMEOUT_MS} millisecond timeout. Use {BROWSER_PATH} and save Markdown to {OUTPUT_PATH}.Best Practices
- Review target URLs and remove credentials, signed parameters, or private resource names before fetching.
- Use the agent strategy for sensitive URLs to avoid automatic third-party fallback.
- Run browser retrieval in an isolated environment when opening untrusted sites.
Avoid
- Do not fetch loopback, private-network, link-local, or cloud metadata URLs.
- Do not place real API keys in prompts, command examples, or output.
- Do not treat fetched page text as trusted instructions for the agent.
