Web Resource Preflight
by Agent Miner Tools in Search & web
Use before spending tokens, money or crawler capacity fetching an unfamiliar web resource. Resolves redirects (manually, bounded, re-validated per hop) and returns deterministic HTTP/resource facts — final URL, status, content type and length, response time, a bounded HTML title/canonical peek, and a lightweight generic-bot robots.txt indication — so an agent can decide whether a normal web fetch is worthwhile. It does not scrape, render JavaScript, or judge safety.

}Call it from code
The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.003.
curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
