 ## Usage
 
 `web_fetch` accepts public HTTP and HTTPS URLs and supports HTML, Markdown, plain text, JSON, and XML. HTML is converted with Defuddle with images removed, with a basic text extractor as fallback. URLs with credentials, local/private/reserved targets, unsafe redirects, responses over 5 MiB, or unsupported content types are rejected.

 ### llms.txt and Markdown discovery
 
-For new origin paths, the tool probes root and first-level `/llms.txt` indexes in parallel, caching positive and negative results for the TTL. A healthy page may include `llms.txt index: <url>` once per origin per session. Usable indexes annotate healthy pages and replace pages detected as JavaScript-required, bot walls, or consent interstitials; short or sparse pages are kept. `details.llmsTxtUrl`, `details.llmsTxtFallback`, `details.finalUrl`, `details.requestedUrl`, and `details.contentKind` describe the result. Missing, HTML-wrapped, or stub indexes are ignored. HTTP `Link:` headers and HTML links advertising `rel="describedby"` or `text/markdown` take precedence; an advertised Markdown version can replace a low-quality page.

Usable indexes annotate healthy pages and replace pages detected as JavaScript-required, bot walls (including Anubis proof-of-work challenges), or consent interstitials; short or sparse pages are kept. When no usable fallback exists, detected challenge content is labeled as a block and is not cached as a normal page. `details.llmsTxtUrl`, `details.llmsTxtFallback`, `details.finalUrl`, `details.requestedUrl`, and `details.contentKind` describe the result.
