    Fetch a URL and return its content as markdown.

The authoritative list comes from the server's tools/list at runtime. This catalog entry may lag the upstream until the next ToolPiper release.

Security notes

The server fetches any URL you ask it to. It does not authenticate; private URLs requiring login won't work. Treat returned content as untrusted input.
