Summary

  • Add WebFetch tool with 6 compaction strategies to prevent token overflow when fetching web content
  • Strategies enable LLM agents to efficiently process different types of web resources without context window bloat

Strategies

Strategy Best For Example Use Case
jq JSON APIs npm registry, GitHub API, REST endpoints
readability Articles Blogs, news, documentation pages
snapshot Page structure Understanding layout, forms, navigation
selector CSS extraction Target specific elements
grep Pattern matching Filter lines with before/after context
raw Small content Exact content for responses <100KB

Example Prompts

Find when Claude Code 2.0.64 was released on https://registry.npmjs.org/@anthropic-ai/claude-code

How is Promise.all defined? https://tc39.es/ecma262/

Who maintains the networking subsystem? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torvalds/linux/master/MAINTAINERS

Implementation Details

  • Size limits: Raw (100KB), JQ (50KB), Output (500KB) to prevent token overflow
  • Dependencies: jsdom, @mozilla/readability, turndown, cheerio, jq-wasm
  • Timeout: 30 seconds per request
  • Truncation: Around match (~200 chars) for grep, 450 chars for context lines

Demo

Before
💥 Prompt is too long

webfetch-too-long.mov

After
🌐 WebFetch uses proper strategy to prevent from prompt overflow

webfetch-strategy.mov

Simple URL fetcher with timeout and output truncation.
- Add strategy parameter with 'raw' as default
- Add MAX_RAW_SIZE (100KB) limit to prevent token overflow
- Add CompactionStrategy type
Extract article content as markdown using @mozilla/readability.
Best for blogs, news, and documentation pages.
- Add jq-wasm dependency for WebAssembly-powered jq processing
- Implement applyJq() async function in strategies.ts
- Add 'jq' to CompactionStrategy type
- Add MAX_JQ_SIZE (50KB) limit constant
- Add query arg to tool schema for jq queries
- Update description to recommend jq for REST APIs, npm registry, GitHub API
- Add jq size limit error with helpful message
- Make applyStrategy async to support jq

👋 Hey @code-yeongyu! I'm on it. Let me check this out...

I’ll leverage multiple agents in parallel:

  • Codebase exploration (structure + diff hotspots)
  • Documentation/reference lookup (bun/TS/tooling as needed)
  • Planning/strategy (dedicated plan agent)
  • High-level reasoning (architecture + risk review)
  • Review synthesis (actionable PR feedback + suggested patches)

Generating JSON Schema...
✓ JSON Schema generated: assets/oh-my-opencode.schema.json\n\n### Blocking: fails on current PR head\n fails due to missing typings and usage of type (repo TS config does not include ).\n\n### Fix PR\nI opened a follow-up PR with the minimal fixes + a couple safety guards: https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-opencode/pull/199\n\n### Additional notes (non-blocking)\n- SSRF/host safety: can hit arbitrary URLs; that’s expected, but worth documenting clearly as “runs on the user’s machine” and/or optionally adding allow/deny lists later.\n- Content-size / memory: even with output truncation, parsing huge pages via / can be expensive; consider a global input-size cap or streaming limit in a follow-up.\n- Args validation: might want to clamp to sane non-negative ranges to avoid weird edge cases.\n\nLet me know if you want me to convert this into a formal on #195 instead of the comment.

Review (requested changes)

Thanks for the PR — the overall strategy split (raw/readability/snapshot/selector/grep/jq) makes sense and the UX-oriented descriptions are great.

Blocking: bun run typecheck currently fails

When I checked out webfetch-compaction-strategy and ran bun run typecheck, I hit:

  • TS7016: missing typings for jsdom
  • TS2304: Document type not found (repo tsconfig.json uses "lib": ["ESNext"], so no lib.dom)

✅ I opened a fix PR: #199

It addresses:

  • add @types/jsdom as a dev dependency
  • remove Document reliance (avoid lib.dom requirement)

Strongly recommended (also included in #199)

  • URL validation: args.url.startsWith("http") accepts e.g. httpX://... and other odd cases. Recommend new URL() parse + enforce http:/https:.
  • Division-by-zero: reduction calc should handle originalSize === 0 (rare but possible).
  • Strategy size caps: PR description mentions raw (100KB) / jq (50KB) limits; I enforced those limits in the strategies in #199 so behavior matches the PR docs.

Security/operational notes (non-blocking, but worth discussing)

  • WebFetch is inherently SSRF-capable. If this tool is used in any environment where the agent can be instructed by untrusted users, consider adding optional protections (e.g. block private IP ranges / localhost, or a configurable allowlist).

Verification I ran locally

  • bun install
  • bun run typecheck (fails on this branch; passes on #199)
  • bun test (passes)
  • bun run build (passes on #199)

Let me know if you’d prefer I retarget #199 onto this branch (or if you want the patch as a single commit you can cherry-pick).

@sisyphus-dev-ai hey don't make extra pr, stack the new fixes on current branch and push

This could break the compatibility with cc compat layer - so i think i need some to think about this
