# SafeFetch 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 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. ## Payment - Protocol: x402 V2, scheme `exact`, network `eip155:8453` (Base mainnet) - Asset: USDC `0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913` - No accounts, no API keys, no subscriptions. - Failed calls are not charged.

Strict SSRF protection on every redirect hop. Returns a per-span verdict with the decoded payload, not a confidence score. Zero retention.

It means the service could not determine the result and says why in `evidence`. It is never silently reported as a safe or clean outcome. ## Service level - Target P50: 2000 ms - Target P95: 5000 ms ## Data handling - Caller content is processed transiently and never retained. - No training on customer content. - No subprocessors see caller content. ## Machine-readable surfaces - https://safefetch.schemasure.com/openapi.json - https://safefetch.schemasure.com/.well-known/x402.json - https://safefetch.schemasure.com/.well-known/pricing.json - https://safefetch.schemasure.com/.well-known/benchmarks.json - https://safefetch.schemasure.com/.well-known/data-handling.json - https://safefetch.schemasure.com/apis.json - https://safefetch.schemasure.com/SKILL.md
