web-fetch from runxhq/runx is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Fetch and extract one public web source, optionally restrict its hosts, and return the content by digest with full provenance.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Web Fetch Fetch one URL, prove it was allowed, extract the part the caller asked for, and return that slice by digest with the provenance needed to trust it later. ## What this skill does `web-fetch` retrieves a single public URL, extracts text, metadata, links, or a JSON document, and seals the result so a downstream step can cite the fetch without re-fetching. It checks the final host against the effective host policy before and after redirects, reads the page whole, and returns the final URL, the HTTP status, a `content_digest` over the retrieved body, the extracted slice, and a provenance block recording when it ran, every redirect hop, and how many bytes it read. The digest identifies the original response body; the selected extraction is returned in the native result. A digest alone is not a stored-body locator. This is the primitive an agent reaches for when it has already decided which page to read. The decision it makes easier is "can I read this page, and what did it actually say", with the answer backed by a digest instead of a remembered paraphrase. The calling agent decides which sources matter and synthesizes …

How to install
mdr add runxhq/runx/web-fetch@sha256:46b98179b6183ef5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.fdab958, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
