Returns the full extracted text from the page. HTML is converted to plain text with structure preserved (headings, paragraphs, lists, code blocks). Scripts, styles, navigation, headers, footers, and sidebars are stripped.
This is raw extracted text, not a summary. The host AI decides how to use the content.

testing
Use when the user needs to summarize large text, files, logs, or diffs. ALWAYS prefer this over reading large files directly into cloud context. Processes content locally and returns a concise summary.
devops
Use when the user wants to submit cloud token usage data to Cercano for tracking. This sends data, not a report — use cercano_stats to view usage. Opt-in telemetry for local-vs-cloud comparison.
tools
Use when the user asks about Cercano usage, token savings, or local vs cloud inference stats. Shows total requests, tokens processed locally, and breakdowns by tool, model, and day.
