Extract article/main text
AI agents call ira_extract_text to retrieve information from IRA-RESEARCHER without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and parses text content from web pages. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete anything, or move money. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could extract text from sensitive pages if authenticated, but the tool itself only reads. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ira_extract_text' and description 'Extract article/main text' indicate data retrieval without modification. The verb 'extract' denotes reading and parsing existing content from a webpage.
