What it does

Web page reader for DeepSeek Harness (dsh): fetch any URL and extract clean Markdown / plain text plus a link inventory - zero runtime dependencies, read-only

✅
Our take
Works — verified, early-stage project

Web page reader for DeepSeek Harness (dsh): fetch any URL and extract clean Markdown / plain text plus a link inventory - zero runtime dependencies, read-only It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. It's early-stage but functional.

“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.

README

dsh-webfetch

为 DeepSeek Harness 智能体装上「阅读器」:给定 URL,抓取网页并提取干净的 Markdown / 纯文本正文,附带链接清单。零运行时依赖,只读,不发送任何凭证。
English | 中文简介

A web page reader plugin for DeepSeek Harness (dsh).
dsh agents can search, but until now they could not read the page behind a URL.
dsh-webfetch closes that gap with two read-only tools and zero runtime dependencies (Node built-ins + global fetch only).

Tools

web_fetch

Fetch a web page and extract its readable content.

Parameter Type Default Description
url string (required) — Full http/https URL of the page to fetch.
format 'markdown' | 'text' markdown Markdown keeps headings, links, lists and code fences; text is plain prose.
extractLinks boolean false Also return every link found on the page (resolved, absolute).
maxChars number 50000 Cap on extracted content length (1000–200000).

Returns { url, finalUrl, status, title, content, length, truncated, links? }.

user: what does the dsh README say about the architecture?
agent: web_fetch("https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness")
  → HTTP 200 — title: deepseek-harness
    ## DeepSeek Harness
    ..."everything is a plugin"...

web_links

Collect every link on a page with its visible label, resolved to absolute
URLs, deduplicated, capped at limit (1–200, default 50). Useful for mapping
what a page points to or crawling site structure.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:TYEclipse/dsh-webfetch
# or a pinned release:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:TYEclipse/dsh-webfetch#v0.1.0

Restart your agent session and the tools are available to the model.

Configuration

All settings are optional (defaults shown):

plugins:
  dsh-webfetch:
    timeoutMs: 10000        # per-request timeout (1000–60000)
    maxBytes: 1500000       # response size cap in bytes (10000–5000000)
    maxChars: 50000         # extracted content cap in chars (1000–200000)
    maxRedirects: 3         # redirect hops to follow (0–10)
    userAgent: "dsh-webfetch/0.1 (DeepSeek Harness plugin)"

Safety model

  • http/https only — file:, ftp:, javascript: and friends are rejected.
  • No credentials ever — URLs with embedded credentials are rejected; no
    cookies or authorization headers are attached; nothing is persisted.
  • Bounded everything — hard timeout per request, redirect hop limit,
    response size cap, extracted-text cap. Oversized bodies are cut off and
    flagged (truncated: true), never buffered past the cap.
  • Content-type gated — only text/html and text/plain responses are
    parsed; scripts, styles, comments and embedded content are stripped by the
    extractor.
  • Charset-aware — honours the Content-Type charset, falls back to
    <meta charset> sniffing, then UTF-8.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm build      # tsc
pnpm test       # vitest — 32 tests, fully offline (local fixture server)
pnpm lint       # oxlint src test

中文简介

dsh-webfetch 是 DeepSeek Harness 的网页阅读插件:智能体拿到 URL 后可以直接抓取页面并提取干净的 Markdown 或纯文本(保留标题、链接、列表与代码块,剥离脚本/样式),另一个工具 web_links 可列出页面全部链接(解析为绝对地址、去重、限量)。零运行时依赖、只读、不发送凭证;http/https 协议限定、超时/重定向/体积/文本长度全部有上限,字符集自动识别(Content-Type → meta → UTF-8)。与内置搜索互补:搜索给线索,webfetch 读正文。

Install

🧩 Let your agent install it (recommended)

Install the catalog once, then DeepSeek Harness can find and install any plugin from this site automatically:

dsh plugin add dshbase-catalog

Then say "install dsh-webfetch for me" — your agent finds it in the directory and installs it. Docs: dshbase-catalog · verified packs.

This plugin is GitHub source (not published to npm) — install it straight from the repo:

Web profile:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:TYEclipse/dsh-webfetch

Headless (CLI) profile:

dsh plugin --profile headless add github:TYEclipse/dsh-webfetch

Test report

Verified: L1 install + L2 load + L3 runtime from GitHub source on dsh 0.1.0-rc.6.

When to use it

Let the agent drive a real browser — navigate, click, fill, and read pages — for research or UI testing.

Who it's for

Users who want browser automation done by the agent rather than a separate scraper or test script.

For developers — extending it

Browser actions are the seam — expose more tool calls (form fill, downloads, tab management) to the model.

Security: not yet scanned — our daily static scan will cover it shortly.
