-# Agent 集成
-
-BrowserAttach 是标准 stdio MCP，共 22 个工具；任何能启动子进程并发现 MCP 工具的 Agent 宿主都可以接入。本文按宿主给出装配步骤；配对与路径要求先读「通用装配」。
-
-| 宿主 | 装配方式 | 配置位置 |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Nosis | `browser-attach setup --nosis` 自动写入 | `~/.nosis/agent_config.json` |
-| DeepSeek Harness | 手动追加 patch 条目 | `$DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>/cordis.patch.yml` |
-
-## 通用装配
-
-先完成配对：
-
-```sh
-npm install --global @evan_zhong/browser-attach
-browser-attach setup
-```
-
-`setup` 打印稳定的扩展目录并启动本机 Hub。按 [README](../README.md) 第 1 步在 `chrome://extensions` 或 `edge://extensions` 加载该目录；每个要暴露的浏览器 profile 各加载一次。
-
-宿主侧只需启动 stdio 进程：
-
-```sh
-node <安装位置>/bin/browser-attach.mjs mcp --config <配对文件绝对路径>
-```
-
-- `BROWSER_ATTACH_HOME` 指向配对文件所在目录。
-- Node 可执行文件、CLI 与配对文件一律使用绝对路径。宿主的启动环境（PATH、工作目录、AppData 重定向）不同，重新推导会得到第二份配对。
-- 安装位置变化或升级后重新执行 `setup` 并更新宿主条目。MCP 包与已加载扩展必须同版本，否则 Hub 直接拒绝连接。
-
-工具前缀由宿主决定，原始工具名不变（`browser_discover`、`browser_claim_tab` 等）。装配后的最小验证在各宿主一致：`browser_discover(kind="browsers")` → `kind="tabs"` → `browser_claim_tab` → `browser_snapshot` → `browser_tab_control(action="release")`。
-
-## Nosis
-
-`setup --nosis` 要求 `~/.nosis/agent_config.json` 已存在（Nosis 已初始化）。该命令在完成普通配对后备份并更新此文件（备份名 `agent_config.json.browser-attach-<时间戳>.bak`），写入：
-
-| 字段 | 值 |
-|---|---|
-| 服务器名 | `browser_attach` |
-| `command` | 执行 setup 的 Node 可执行文件绝对路径 |
-| `args` | 当前包 `bin/browser-attach.mjs` 绝对路径、`mcp`、`--config <绝对配对路径>` |
-| `env.BROWSER_ATTACH_HOME` | 配对文件所在目录 |
-| `startup_timeout_seconds` / `call_timeout_seconds` | `20` / `60` |
-| `tools.approval` | `always` |
-
-同时设置 `mcp.enabled = true`。命令与配对路径都固定为绝对路径，因此本机安装位置变化后需要重新执行 `setup --nosis`；请从长期保留的位置安装，而不是临时解压目录。重启或重建 Nosis Runtime 后重新发现工具。
-
-自定义运行目录：
-
-```sh
-browser-attach setup --config /absolute/shared-directory/config.json --nosis
-```
-
-`setup` 会把解析后的配对路径写进配置，MCP 与 Hub 后续都显式传递同一路径，不会在不同启动环境中重新推导出第二套密钥。`setup` 不会搜索或自动迁移其他应用的私有缓存；已有配对请显式保留原目录。
-
-Windows 安装脚本可直接带该开关：`./scripts/install.ps1 -ConfigureNosis`。
-
-验证：
-
-```sh
-python scripts/verify-nosis.py --nosis-root /path/to/Nosis --family chrome
-python scripts/verify-nosis.py --nosis-root /path/to/Nosis --family edge
-```
-
-脚本读取本机 Nosis 配置，通过 Nosis ToolCatalog 发现 22 个工具，覆盖发现、标签控制、页面操作和结果封装，其中 `browser_logs` 分别覆盖 console/network，验证结果封装、截图到模型消息的图片适配以及 `isError` 后连接仍可用。它用 `browser_open_tab` 在选定配置中创建本地 fixture；同一 family 有多个 profile 时用 `--browser-id <精确 browser_id>` 指定，结束后释放控制。Python 仅用于该测试，不是运行依赖。
-
-## DeepSeek Harness
-
-DSH 通过 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client` 条目接入 stdio MCP：一个服务器一个条目，工具暴露为 `mcp__<serverName>__<工具名>`。客户端插件随 harness 提供，不需要为 BrowserAttach 额外安装包。
-
-把条目追加到 patch 层：
-
-- 单个 profile：`$DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>/cordis.patch.yml`；`dsh web` 对应 `web`。
-- 本机所有 profile：`$DSH_HOME/cordis.patch.yml`。
-- 临时试用：任意 patch 文件，用 `dsh web --patch ./browser-attach.cordis.yml` 叠加。
-
-`$DSH_HOME` 未设置时为 `~/.dsh`。patch 文件是 patch 列表，直接追加 `insert` 条目，不要覆盖其中已有的用户 patch。
-
-```yaml
-- insert:
-    - id: browser-attach
-      name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client'
-      config:
-        serverName: browser_attach

-          BROWSER_ATTACH_HOME: 'C:\Users\<用户>\.browser-attach'
-        toolCallTimeoutMs: 60000

-
-三个路径按本机实际值填写：
-
-```sh
-where node        # Windows；macOS / Linux 用 which node
-npm root -g       # 全局安装目录；CLI 位于 <root>/@evan_zhong/browser-attach/bin/browser-attach.mjs
-```
-
-开发检出可直接指向 `<仓库>/bin/browser-attach.mjs`。macOS / Linux 把示例中的 Windows 路径换成对应的绝对路径，字段不变。

-- 子进程启动前，DSH 会删除名字匹配 `KEY|PASSWORD|SECRET|TOKEN` 的环境变量以及全部 `DSH_*`，其余环境变量继承；显式写在 `env` 里的值保留。配对路径已由 `--config` 固定，不依赖工作目录。
-- `toolCallTimeoutMs` 默认 `60000`，与 BrowserAttach 推荐的调用超时一致；单个调用确实更慢时再调大。
-- `failOnStartupError` 默认 `false`：连接失败只记日志、工具不出现，harness 照常启动。排查连接问题时设为 `true` 可让启动失败直接暴露。
-- 工具发现是异步的；启动后等 `mcp__browser_attach__browser_discover` 出现再发第一条指令。
-- `web` profile 开启 HMR，修改条目会就地重连；`headless`、`sdk`、`acp` 关闭 HMR，需要重启 harness。
-- MCP 工具与原生工具一样经过 DSH 的权限检查与审批策略。
-
-升级后重新加载扩展并重启 harness；包与扩展版本必须一致。
-
-## 新增宿主
-
-追加小节时至少覆盖：配置位置与可粘贴片段、启动命令的三个绝对路径（Node、CLI、配对文件）、`BROWSER_ATTACH_HOME`、调用与启动超时、审批方式、工具前缀、验证步骤，以及升级后如何重新连接。配对与安全边界只在「通用装配」维护，不逐宿主重复。
-
-## 故障排查
-
-- 工具结果走 MCP 文本内容，截图走标准图片内容；能否进入模型取决于宿主的图片适配、大小预算与模型能力。
-- 失效句柄不能跨连接复用，错误后应重新 discover + claim。
-- 文件上传只在浏览器本机读取路径，内容不经过 Hub 或模型。
-- 宿主把大结果保存为 Artifact 时，嵌套 JSON 长行可能被宿主的读取工具截断；这是宿主的分页行为，不能靠调大 Attach 的预算解决，也不等同于快照游标分页。
-- `Connection closed` 时依次检查：宿主的 stderr、配对文件是否可见、`hub.log`、以及 Hub 与扩展的版本是否一致（版本不一致会直接拒绝连接）。

 普通结果是一份紧凑 JSON 文本；截图另外返回标准图片内容。失败通过 MCP `isError` 返回，错误文本即原因。
 
+## 读取一个 URL
+
+先用 `browser_discover(kind="browsers")` 选择配置，再调用：
+
+```js
+browser_fetch({browser_id, url: "https://example.com/article", wait_until: "network_idle", format: "text", max_chars: 20000})
+// → {url, title, contentType, format, body, capture_truncated, truncated, next_cursor}
+browser_fetch({browser_id, cursor: next_cursor, max_chars: 20000})
+```
+
+`browser_fetch` 在选定配置中新建 `active=false` 的临时标签，复用该配置的登录态和导航链路，采集后关闭；不需要对临时页显式 discover/claim。它不操作已有标签，不创建浏览器或窗口，不跟随页面链接。后台标签会短暂出现在标签栏，不能保证浏览器完全不可见。网页脚本、子资源、重定向仍照常执行，打开 URL 也可能产生网站状态变化；“读一页”指工具范围，不代表 HTTP 请求无副作用。
+
+- `wait_until=load` 为默认；`network_idle` 在 load 后再等被动请求表中连续 500 ms 无活动请求，复用 `browser_wait` 的网络空闲条件，不保证应用内容全部完成。`timeout_ms` 为 100–30000，默认 15000；调试初始化、导航和读取共享预算，标签创建和关闭受 Hub 超时约束。
+- 只读当前主文档。`text` 使用 `body.innerText`；`html` 返回执行脚本后的当前 DOM `outerHTML`，并非原始 HTTP 响应；`json` 从浏览器呈现的 JSON 正文解析、校验后序列化，不另发 fetch/XHR，也不返回响应头或 HTTP 状态。`contentType` 来自 `document.contentType`，`url` 为采集时的最终地址。非 HTTP(S) 最终文档报错。
+- `body` 始终为字符串，`max_chars` 为 1–100000，默认 20000，按 JavaScript 字符串长度计算。JSON 分页也为字符串片段，应先按顺序拼接再 `JSON.parse`。
+- 一次最多保留 1000000 字符。`next_cursor` 非空表示缓存尚有后续片段；`truncated` 表示尚未返回全部内容或采集有损。`capture_truncated=true` 表示文本/HTML 超出采集上限，丢失的尾部不能通过 cursor 取回；JSON 无法完整捕获或解析时直接报错。
+- 每个连接、每个浏览器配置最多保留一份缓存；新 fetch 替换旧缓存，读完或断连清除。续读只接受 `browser_id`、`cursor` 和可选 `max_chars`，不再打开页面。缓存不因临时页关闭而失效，也不能跨连接读取。
+- 超时、解析错误或断连会清理临时页，不自动重新导航。关闭失败会明确报错并保留清理责任，在断连时再次尝试关闭；不会静默移交给其他连接。临时页不出现在 `discover(kind="tabs")` 的结果中。
+
 ## 观察：快照与引用
 
 `browser_snapshot` 返回 `snapshot` 文本（每行 `[token:n] role "name" 状态`）、`snapshot_id`、`node_count`、`total_node_count`、`truncated`、`truncation_reason`（`node_limit` / `text_budget`）、`next_cursor`、`viewport`、`omitted_frames`，以及当前 `title` / `url`。
