--- name: safefetch description: Retrieve a hostile web page safely: clean Markdown, citation anchors, and decoded evidence of what the page was trying to say to your agent. --- # SafeFetch SafeFetch retrieves one public page through a three-layer SSRF guard that revalidates every redirect hop, extracts the article as Markdown or text, and returns the full redirect chain, a sha256 of the exact bytes retrieved, a retrieval timestamp, and W3C Web Annotation citation anchors (TextQuoteSelector plus TextPositionSelector) with a Text Fragment deep link for each passage. It then reports what the page was doing to whatever reads it: CSS-hidden and HTML-hidden text, invisible Unicode channels decoded rather than counted, encoded blobs, and instruction-like phrasing, each as an evidence entry carrying the decoded payload, the technique, and a span. robots.txt is fetched through the same guard and honoured by default; a disallow is a free refusal. Detection is deterministic and can be evaded by a technique not in the rule set, so `allow` means no signal was found and never that the page is safe. Nothing is retained. ## When to use this Use `POST https://safefetch.schemasure.com/v1/fetch` when you need: Fetch one public page as Markdown with citation anchors, a content hash, and decoded evidence of hidden or injected instructions. ## How to pay 1. Send the request without payment. You receive HTTP 402 and a base64 `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` header. 2. Decode it, sign one of the `accepts` entries with your wallet locally. 3. Retry the identical request with the `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header. 4. A successful response carries a `PAYMENT-RESPONSE` receipt. Cost: $0.01 in USDC on Base mainnet. Failed calls are free. Your private key never leaves your process. ## Request ```json { "url": "https://example.com/article", "output": "markdown", "policy": { "max_bytes": 2000000, "allow_redirects": 3, "flag_prompt_injection": true, "respect_robots": true, "user_initiated": false } } ``` ## Response ```json { "ok": true, "verdict": "block", "confidence": 1, "risk_codes": [ "INJECTION_HIDDEN_INSTRUCTION" ], "evidence": [ { "code": "INJECTION_HIDDEN_INSTRUCTION", "severity": "critical", "detail": "Concealed text (display-none) contains ignore/disregard previous instructions; send/post data to a URL.

Read `risk_codes`. - `unknown` — the service could not determine the answer. **Do not treat this as safe.**
