What does the competitor_pricing_scrape tool do? +

Scrape and parse a competitor pricing page from a URL or domain. Fetches via proxy-aware timedFetch (tries /pricing, /plans, homepage fallback), then extracts: plan names, prices, billing cadence (monthly/annual/usage-based/one-time), key features, free tier presence, enterprise tier, estimated price range. Returns structured pricing tiers. If unfetchable or no pricing found (anti-bot, SPA, auth wall): returns a clear degraded result with warnings and signals — never fake success.
