What this API does

Fetch one public HTTPS URL and return bounded text with status, content type, truncation state and capture time. The first cut supports Markdown or HTML only; it excludes authenticated pages, arbitrary headers, cookies, request bodies, screenshots, browser actions and automatic supplier fallback.

Agents select this operation with tool ID brightdata.web-scrape, then inspect its current executable contract before a run.
