What get_url_content does on Peecai

AI agents call get_url_content to retrieve information from Peecai without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_url_content needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves already-scraped content from tracked URLs, returning data in read-only form. It has no capability to modify, delete, execute, or perform financial operations. The only parameter mentioned is max_length for pagination/truncation control, which is a benign retrieval parameter. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] the scraped markdown content of a source URL' and 'Returns markdown content plus metadata' — purely a retrieval operation with no modifications, side effects, or data mutations.

Questions about get_url_content

Get the scraped markdown content of a source URL. Use the URLs report (get_urls_report) to discover URLs. Returns markdown content plus metadata (title, domain, channel_title, classification, url_classification, content_length, truncated, content_updated_at).
