Tries to get clean readable content using a cascade of strategies in order: appending .md to the URL, fetching a /llms.txt discovery file, requesting plain text via Accept header, then falling back to stripping HTML.

+# Web Fetch
+
+Fetches web content with cascading fallback strategies to get the cleanest possible text.
+
+## Strategies (in order)
+
+1. **Markdown version** — Appends `.md` to the URL (works on GitHub, many docs sites)
+2. **llms.txt discovery** — Checks `/llms.txt` at the root (sites that publish LLM-friendly content)
+3. **Plain text request** — Sends `Accept: text/plain` header
+4. **HTML strip** — Fetches HTML and strips tags, scripts, and styles
+
+## Output
+
+Returns the text content with a note indicating which strategy succeeded.
