+# @arnilo/prism-tools/web
+
+The first-party web search and fetch tools as a Prism package. The default export is a
+`definePackage` definition whose `setup` registers `web_search` and `web_fetch` into the session's
+tool registry and, when a fetch backend is configured, provides the `web.fetch` service.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+prism add @arnilo/prism-tools/web
+```
+
+```jsonc
+// manifest entry, with every config field that has no default
+{
+  "name": "@arnilo/prism-tools/web",
+  "version": "^0.13.0",
+  "integrity": "sha512-…",
+  "config": {
+    "backend": "brave",
+    "apiKey": "env:BRAVE_API_KEY",
+    "fetch": { "backend": "firecrawl", "apiKey": "env:FIRECRAWL_API_KEY" }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `backend` | `"brave"` \| `"exa"` \| `"firecrawl"` \| `"native"` \| `"obscura"` \| `"searxng"` \| `"tavily"` \| `"kagi"` | none (required) | Selects the search/fetch backend. `"native"` is fetch-only and needs no key. Missing `backend` fails the package load with a field-naming error. |
+| `apiKey` | `env:NAME` \| `keyring:NAME` | none | Ref only; a literal fails config validation. Required for `brave`, `exa`, `firecrawl`, `tavily`, and `kagi`; optional for `searxng` (sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` for an instance behind an authenticating proxy); `native` and `obscura` need none. Resolved once through `prism.credentials.resolve`. |
+| `searxng.origin` | `string` | none (required for `searxng`) | Exact origin of the self-hosted instance, e.g. `https://search.example.org`. Must be an exact HTTPS origin; a missing one writes a `warn` note and registers nothing. |
+| `searxng.allowLoopback` | `boolean` | `false` | Accepts a plaintext `http://` origin, but only when its hostname is loopback (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`, `localhost`). No other origin escapes the exact-HTTPS rule. |
+| `fetch.backend` | `"native"` \| `"firecrawl"` \| `"off"` | `"native"` | Second backend used for `web_fetch` when `backend` is `brave` or `exa`. `"native"` is keyless; `"off"` registers `web_search` only. |
+| `fetch.apiKey` | `env:NAME` \| `keyring:NAME` | none | Ref only. Required for the Firecrawl fetch backend. When unresolved, `web_search` is registered and a warn note explains the missing fetch. |
+| `fetch.prompt` | `{ model: string \| { provider, model }, maxInputChars?: number, maxOutputTokens?: number }` | none (off) | Adds a `prompt` argument to `web_fetch`: the configured model answers one question from up to `maxInputChars` of the page (default 100 000), with an output budget of `maxOutputTokens` (default 1 024, never above the model's own ceiling). The page is wrapped in the kernel's untrusted envelope and the request carries no tools; the answer is returned as untrusted text with `value { url, title, answer, inputChars, sourceTruncated, usage }`. The model is host-chosen and resolved once at setup — a bad ref writes a `warn` note and leaves `web_fetch` without the argument. |
+| `fetch.userAgent` | `string` | `Prism-Web-Fetch/<version> (+https://github.com/ashiqrniloy/prism)` | The `user-agent` the native backend sends. Only the native fetch reads it. |
+| `obscura.binary` | `string` | `"obscura"` | Absolute path or a bare name resolved against absolute `PATH` entries. Used only when `backend` is `"obscura"`. |
+| `obscura.nativeTools` | `boolean` | `true` | Registers the native `obscura_fetch`/`obscura_scrape` tools alongside `web_search`/`web_fetch`. |
+| `obscura.limits` | `object` | tool defaults | `ObscuraWebLimits` keys (`maxQueryBytes`, `maxResults`, `maxUrls`, `maxConcurrency`, `maxOutputBytes`, `maxStderrBytes`, `timeoutMs`, `maxEvalBytes`). An out-of-range value fails setup with `invalid limits config` naming the key. |
+| `extract.schema` | `object` | none | Registers `web_extract` over this JSON Schema. Needs a Firecrawl key (`apiKey` for `backend: "firecrawl"`, `fetch.apiKey` otherwise); without one a warn note skips only `web_extract`. The schema is compiled at setup by the kernel's `validateJsonSchema`, so an unsupported subset or a remote `$ref` fails setup naming `extract.schema`. |
+| `limits` | `object` | tool defaults | Byte, retry, concurrency, and timeout bounds for the HTTP adapters. Hosts may only narrow or raise within the hard caps. |
+| `cache` | `{ ttlSeconds: number, maxEntries?: number, maxBytes?: number }` | none (off) | Per-session page cache for `web_fetch` and the `web.fetch` service. `ttlSeconds` 1–86 400; `maxEntries` default 64; `maxBytes` default 16 MiB of Markdown per agent process. A repeat fetch of the same canonical URL in the same session within the TTL makes no request, returns `cached: true`, and says so in the text; `web_fetch` also gains a `refresh` argument to bypass it. Entries are LRU-evicted by count and bytes and dropped when the session closes; nothing is persisted. |
+| `domains` | `{ allow?: string[], block?: string[] }` | none (everything public) | Host-enforced permission, not a model preference. Bare hostnames; a leading `*.` matches subdomains (`*.example.com` does not match `example.com`); at most 256 entries each; `block` wins over `allow`; when `allow` is present only its matches are permitted (an empty list permits none). Entries are normalized (case, trailing dot, IDN→punycode) and a malformed entry fails setup with `invalid domains config`. |
+
+An unknown key fails `createAgent` with the kernel's config error naming the key. A missing key ref
+or a missing Obscura binary registers nothing and writes a `warn` status note; it never throws.
+
+## What it changes
+
+Registers tools with a declared `effects` annotation:
+
+| tool | effects | backend | notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `web_search` | `["network"]` | `brave`, `exa`, `searxng`, `tavily`, `kagi`, `obscura` | bounded public-web search; the model reads a numbered list (title, URL, date, ≤300-character snippet, at most two highlights), while `value` keeps the citation shape |
+| `web_fetch` | `["network"]` | `native` (default), `firecrawl`, `obscura` | one slice of a page's Markdown (`url`, `max_chars` 1–100 000 default 32 000, `offset`); the result is marked `untrusted_external`, so the kernel wraps it in its envelope (`docs/tools.md`) and the tool ships no banner of its own |
+| `obscura_fetch`, `obscura_scrape` | `["network"]` | `obscura` (`nativeTools`) | native Obscura one-shot fetch and batch scrape |
+| `web_extract` | `["network"]` | `firecrawl` | registered from `extract.schema` (package config) or by the named `createWebTools` factory with a host schema and validator |
+
+It also provides the `web.fetch` service (a `WebFetchService` other packages use to ingest a URL)
+whenever a fetch backend is configured, and keeps the per-session fetch cache in process memory
+through `prism.state.agent` — never in session state or the log, so page text is never written to the
+branch. Its only hook registration is an observe-only `session.closed` listener that drops that
+session's cached pages. It claims no slot and emits no events of its own.
+
+It also ships one skill, `web-research` (page text is data, give each fact's URL, say so when no page has the answer). It declares `requiresTools: web_fetch`, so a config or request without `web_fetch` does not list it. Cost: one catalog line, and the body only when the model loads it; `disable: { skills: ["web-research"] }` removes it. Its effect is measured on one hazard (`web-no-answer`: 6/9 with the skill, 1/9 without) and not in the pooled score; see [the evidence](../../../docs/_evidence/skill-evals/211/v3/web-research.preload.md).
+
+### What the model sees, and what hosts read
+
+Every web tool returns two things: `content` (text for the model) and `value` (structured data for
+hosts, `tools-research`, and citation ledgers). Since the kernel wraps untrusted results in its
+envelope, the text is the only thing the model reads, so each tool renders it for reading:
+
+```text
+1. Bun 1.4 release notes
+   https://bun.sh/blog/bun-v1.4
+   2026-09-30 — Bun 1.4 adds …
+   · highlights, at most two per result
+```
+
+`renderSearchResults` (search) and `renderScrapeResults` (batch scrape) in `src/render.ts` are shared
+by Brave, Exa, and Obscura. Rendered text is never interpreted: titles, snippets, and highlights are
+collapsed to a single line, so a snippet containing `\n2. Fake result` cannot fake an entry, and no
+link is synthesized from snippet text. A ten-result search renders about half the bytes of the
+pre-0.14 payload (3.1 kB against 6.3 kB recorded). Provider and rate facts (`requestId`, `cost`,
+`rate`) appear once on the response, never on each result.
+
+Tool descriptions state what each tool is for, when to use `web_search` versus `web_fetch`, the
+`count` default and maximum (from the resolved `maxResults`), the fetch slice defaults, and that the
+content is untrusted. They name no backend vendor.
+
+### Search controls
+
+`web_search` takes structured controls instead of query operators, and each backend exposes only the
+ones it can honor — a control the configured backend does not support fails with `ERR_PRISM_WEB_INPUT`
+naming the argument rather than being silently ignored:
+
+| argument | Brave | Exa | SearXNG | Tavily | Kagi v1 | Obscura (DuckDuckGo HTML) |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `freshness` | `pd`/`pw`/`pm`/`py` | `startPublishedDate` (ISO, now − 1/7/30/365 days) | `time_range=day/month/year` — **no `week`** | `time_range=day/week/month/year` | `lens.timeRelative=day/week/month`; `year` becomes `filters.after` (a year ago) | `df=d/w/m/y` |
+| `include_domains` (≤ 10) | `site:` operators appended to the query | `includeDomains` | `site:` operators appended to the query | `include_domains` | `lens.sitesIncluded` | `site:` operators appended to the query |
+| `exclude_domains` (≤ 10) | `-site:` operators appended to the query | `excludeDomains` | `-site:` operators appended to the query | `exclude_domains` | `lens.sitesExcluded` | `-site:` operators appended to the query |
+| `country` (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) | `country` | `userLocation` | not supported — refused by name | `country` as an English name (e.g. `United States`), with `topic: general` | `filters.region` | `kl=<country>-<language>` |
+| `language` (ISO 639-1) | `search_lang` | not supported — refused by name | `language` | `language` | not supported — refused by name | `kl=<country>-<language>` |
+| `offset` | `offset`, 0-based, ≤ 9; larger fails naming `offset` | not supported (Exa has no paging) | `pageno` (1-based, from `offset`) | not supported (Tavily pages nothing) | `page` 1–10, so `offset` ≤ 9 | not supported (continuing a DDG result list needs a `vqd` token from a second request) |
+
+A backend may support a control without every value: SearXNG has no `week` window, so the tool schema
+offers only `day`/`month`/`year` there and a `week` request fails naming `freshness`. The narrowed
+values live in each adapter's `controlValues`, which the tool builder reads.
+
+Domain values are validated as bare hostnames before they reach a query string or a JSON body: a
+scheme, path, wildcard, space, or operator syntax (`example.com OR site:evil.test`) is rejected. The
+`site:`/`-site:` operators are appended to the search query, so they count toward every query limit
+the provider enforces — Brave's 400-character and 50-word caps included. One search is still exactly
+one provider request.
+
+The matrix lives in one place per adapter: `supports: ReadonlySet<SearchControl>` (and, for a control
+with a narrower value set, `controlValues`), which the tool builder reads to build the schema (and the
+description's filter list) and the adapter reads to validate its own calls.
+
+### Backend cost and failure behavior
+
+| backend | what one search costs | notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Brave, Exa | per-query plan | keyed; a 429 is retried only because it was refused |
+| SearXNG | free (self-hosted) | no key; requests are GETs, so connection failures and 429/5xx retry |
+| Tavily | per credit/plan | `POST /search`, retried only on a 429 (`safe-post`); `max_results` 0–20 and no paging |
+| Kagi | per-query price (see `kagi.com/api/pricing`) | API v1 `POST https://kagi.com/api/v1/search` with `Authorization: Bot <token>`; the deprecated v0 GET is not implemented |
+| Firecrawl | per page/scrape | fetch/extract only |
+| Obscura | free (local binary) | fetch/search through a local headless browser |
+
+### Paging a page
+
+`web_fetch` returns characters `offset` to `offset + max_chars` of the page, not the whole page: a
+megabyte result exceeds most context windows before compaction can run. Its text content is
+
+```text
+Showing characters 0–32000 of 100000.
+Call web_fetch again with offset=32000 for more.
+
+# Example Domain …            (32 000 characters)
+```
+
+and its `value` is the document's citation fields plus `{ markdown, offset, totalChars, truncated,
+nextOffset?, sourceTruncated }`. A slice ends on a paragraph break, else a line break, when one falls
+in the last tenth of the window, and never splits a surrogate pair.
+
+The page is kept in a session-scoped cache keyed by `(sessionId, canonical URL)`, so paging a page
+costs one fetch and one session never reads another session's page. Without `cache` config that is
+the anonymous memo — at most 8 pages, at most 10 minutes. With `cache: { ttlSeconds }` the page also
+survives across tool calls: a repeat fetch within the TTL returns `cached: true` and the text says
+`cached <age> ago`, `refresh: true` fetches again, and `maxEntries`/`maxBytes` bound the memory
+(LRU by count and bytes, dropped when the session closes, never written to the store). The cache
+costs up to `maxBytes` of process memory in exchange for fewer paid fetches; it is off by default.
+A page over the fetch limit is no longer an error: the head is kept and `sourceTruncated: true` says
+the tail is missing. Only a response over the transport's `maxResponseBytes` read cap fails.
+
+With the `native` backend (the default) the page is read directly by this package, without a key:
+`pinnedFetch`'s DNS pinning and SSRF check are applied to every hop, redirects are followed by hand
+(up to 5, hard 10), and no cookies are stored or sent. HTML is reduced to its article body with
+Readability and converted to Markdown (headings, fenced code, absolute links); `text/*`,
+`application/json`, and XML pass through, JSON pretty-printed. Anything else fails with
+`ERR_PRISM_WEB_CONTENT_TYPE`. The citation URL is the final URL and `value.redirects` lists the
+hops. `linkedom`, `@mozilla/readability`, and `turndown` are loaded on the first HTML conversion
+only, so a JSON-only host pays nothing for them.
+
+The Obscura backend's `web_fetch` reads one `markdown` dump through the configured binary: the
+pre-check resolves and validates the requested URL, then Obscura fetches it, and **the citation is the
+requested URL** — `obscura fetch --dump` cannot report where it redirected (only its worker protocol
+does), so a redirecting page is read at its final content under the original URL. Obscura's own
+client re-validates every redirect hop from 0.1.8; on an older or unverified binary the package
+registers no Obscura page path and `web_fetch` comes from the native backend instead (below).
+
+Its `web_search` uses one replaceable HTML profile: `https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=…` (the host
+`duckduckgo.com/html/` only redirects there), where the profile's constant extraction expression
+decodes each `result__a` through the `uddg` parameter of DuckDuckGo's `/l/` redirect and returns the
+raw `href` for anything else, skipping `.result--ad` sponsored rows. A blocked page or a query with
+no rows fails `web_search` with `ERR_OBSCURA_SEARCH_EMPTY` ("search returned no results; the search
+page may have blocked automated access") instead of returning a silent empty list; rows whose decoded
+target is not `http(s)` are dropped host-side by `citation()`. A custom `searchProfile` may return a
+bare row array instead of `{ blocked, results }`; it is treated as unblocked.
+
+When a fetch backend is configured the package also provides the `web.fetch` service:
+
+```ts
+interface WebFetchService {
+  fetch(url: string, options?: { signal?: AbortSignal; maxBytes?: number }): Promise<WebDocument>;
+}
+```
+
+`maxBytes` lowers the Markdown kept and sets `sourceTruncated`; it is clamped to `maxMarkdownBytes`,
+so the service bound is the only one a consumer (the wiki and RAG loaders) can tighten.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+`credentials` — setup resolves the configured `apiKey` (and `fetch.apiKey`) through the credentials
+slot. A resolved secret joins the agent's secret set, so it is redacted from events, notes, logs,
+errors, and `inspect()` from then on.
+
+`models` — declared always because capabilities are static, but `prism.models.client` is only called
+when `fetch.prompt` is configured. That call runs with no session or run identity, so its usage is
+**outside the run's budget**: it is reported on the tool value (`value.usage`) and in neither the
+run's totals nor `RunResult`. Each `prompt` use is exactly one model call; without `fetch.prompt`
+the package makes none.
+
+## Cost, security, and failure behavior
+
+- Provider credentials never enter tool schemas, results, prompts, telemetry, URLs, or errors. Only
+  refs are accepted in config; a literal fails validation.
+- The `prompt` path is a trust boundary: the page is untrusted input to a host-chosen model, the
+  request has no tools, and the answer is still marked untrusted because page text can shape it.
+  Page instructions cannot add a tool or a permission; at most they can mislead the answer.
+- Firecrawl fetches are SSRF-checked with `assertSsrfAllowedUrl` before the request. The 0.12
+  pinned-fetch and SSRF limits are unchanged.
+- **`domains` is the host's permission, independent of model arguments.** `web_search` rows whose
+  host is not permitted are dropped before rendering and counted in `value.filtered` (the description
+  says results are limited when `allow` is set, without listing the hosts); `web_fetch`,
+  `web_extract`, `obscura_fetch`, `obscura_scrape`, and the `web.fetch` service refuse a non-permitted
+  URL with `ERR_PRISM_WEB_DOMAIN` naming the host. The native backend re-checks every redirect hop,
+  so a permitted host cannot redirect into a blocked one; Firecrawl and Obscura follow redirects in
+  their own process, so for them the policy covers the URL Prism hands over (Obscura's binary still
+  re-validates private addresses per hop). Matching is a set lookup plus a suffix walk: no DNS, no
+  network.
+- Native fetches use the kernel's DNS-pinned request on every hop: one resolve, every candidate
+  private-checked, and the socket pinned to the validated address, so a redirect cannot re-resolve
+  into a private network. Plaintext `http:` is refused (there is no loopback opt-in), response
+  bodies are bounded by `maxResponseBytes`, and scripts never run. Fetched HTML is never written to
+  disk.
+- Obscura search rows are untrusted: the decoded `uddg` target is re-validated host-side, so a link
+  to `javascript:` or another scheme is dropped rather than rendered or fetched.
+- Obscura fetches and scrapes pre-resolve the target hostname through the kernel's `defaultResolver`
+  and reject any private, loopback, link-local, or metadata address via `assertSsrfAllowedUrl` on each
+  address (`ERR_OBSCURA_SSRF`). This adds exactly one DNS resolution per fetch operation — and it
+  covers only the **first** URL: the rest happens inside the Obscura process.
+- **Redirects and private addresses.** Obscura follows redirects itself and, from **0.1.8**, every
+  `Location` is validated and re-resolved through its own `SsrfGuardResolver`, so a redirect to a
+  public-looking name that resolves to a private or metadata address is refused by the binary. Prism
+  therefore probes `obscura --version` once at setup: a parsed version of at least 0.1.8 keeps the
+  browser-backed `web_fetch` and the native `obscura_fetch`/`obscura_scrape`; an older version, a
+  source build (`0.2.5-dev+<sha>`), an unparseable output, or a failing probe registers `web_search`
+  only, serves `web_fetch` and the `web.fetch` service from the native backend (which re-checks every
+  hop), and writes one `warn` status note naming the probed version. Prism never passes
+  `--allow-private-network`, and the child env is only `PATH` plus the configured values, so
+  `OBSCURA_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK` and `OBSCURA_PROXY` from the host are not inherited.
+- Subresource loads made by the Obscura browser are **not** restricted by Prism; Obscura's own client
+  resolves and validates them, and the binary is never told to allow the private network. For full
+  network isolation in enterprise deployments, put the binary behind an egress proxy or in an
+  isolated network container — the contained-proxy pattern `@arnilo/prism-tools/browser` requires.
+- Registration performs no network request. Importing the package loads neither `playwright-core`
+  nor `@arnilo/prism-extensions/mcp`; the Obscura MCP bridge is imported dynamically only when its surface is
+  used.
+- Missing key/binary is a status note and an inert package, never a throw.
+- **Parallel calls wait, they do not fail.** `maxConcurrency` (default 4, hard 16) caps requests in
+  flight; further calls queue up to `maxQueued` (default 64, hard 256) and then fail with
+  `ERR_PRISM_WEB_LIMIT` `Web operation queue is full`. A waiting call is still bounded by
+  `timeoutMs` and by the caller's signal — an aborted waiter leaves the queue, takes no slot, and
+  makes no request.
+- **Retries follow billing, not the HTTP verb.** Each request names a retry mode: `idempotent` (GETs
+  — retry a connection failure and any 429/5xx), `safe-post` (Exa search, Firecrawl `/v2/scrape` —
+  retry a connection failure and a 429, never a 5xx, since the provider may already have done the
+  work) or `never` (Firecrawl `/v2/extract` job creation — a paid job is never submitted twice).
+  Backoff is exponential, and a `Retry-After` header — delay-seconds or an HTTP date — is honored,
+  with a date in the past meaning "retry now"; every delay stays capped by `maxRateLimitDelayMs`.
+
+## Example
+
+```ts
+import { createAgent } from "@arnilo/prism";
+import toolsWeb from "@arnilo/prism-tools/web";
+
+const agent = await createAgent({
+  model,
+  packages: [
+    toolsWeb({
+      backend: "brave",
+      apiKey: "env:BRAVE_API_KEY",
+      fetch: { backend: "firecrawl", apiKey: "env:FIRECRAWL_API_KEY" },
+    }),
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+The 0.12 factory names (`createBraveSearch`, `createExaSearch`, `createFirecrawlFetch`,
+`createFirecrawlExtractor`, `createWebTools`, `createObscuraWebTools`, `connectObscuraCdp`,
+`createObscuraMcpTools`, and the limits/normalize helpers) stay exported for hosts that build tool
+lists by hand.
