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.

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/htmlandtext/plainresponses are
parsed; scripts, styles, comments and embedded content are stripped by the
extractor. - Charset-aware — honours the
Content-Typecharset, 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)

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
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.
