Web Access Tools
All four tools are available on every plan, including Free.
web_search, web_browse, scrape, and web_fetch with screenshot or
render_js run on our render/search cluster and draw down scraper
credits — Free includes 250 MB of them, granted once and not topped up;
every paid plan gets 1 GB per billing period, renewing, and can buy more.
Plain web_fetch is ordinary egress and is metered against your agent's
bandwidth instead.
web_fetch
Fetch a URL through your Route6 IPv6 identity.
Any URL, on any plan. IPv4-only destinations are reached transparently via DNS64/NAT64 — you do not need to do anything, and there is no IPv6-only restriction on the free tier.
What differs by plan is volume: Free is capped at 250 MB of egress per agent per month, paid plans are unmetered.
