 - **`client.checkAndExtractUrlContent(url, options)`**
   - Extracts a clean, token-efficient content summary as markdown from a URL. Removes ads, nav, scripts. Much more efficient than raw HTML fetches for LLMs.

 - **`client.checkAndExtractUrlLinks(url)`**
   - Extracts all links from a URL categorized by type (internal/external/anchor) with SEO metadata. Detects image links, nofollow attributes, and analyzes external domain distribution.
 
 - **`client.checkAndExtractUrlMetadata(url, options)`**
-  - Extracts rich structured metadata from a URL: title, description, og/twitter tags, json-ld, images, headings, response headers, and more. Perfect for SEO research or metadata indexing & analysis. Largest response size of the client methods available.
