## Description

Agent-Reach is an AI agent web gateway and search tool that provides language models with the ability to search and read content from the open web, social media, and community forums without using official APIs. It functions as a routing layer that connects large language models to various internet backends while managing content parsing and connection health.

The system enables API-free information retrieval by using open-source backends to extract text and metadata from platforms such as Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube. It converts unstructured website content, RSS feeds, and video transcripts into a standardized schema for consistent consumption by AI agents.

The toolset includes capabilities for automated web scraping, semantic web search, and a command-line interface for data extraction. It features a request routing system that automatically switches providers during connection failures and a diagnostic loop to monitor backend health.

Security is managed through local credential storage that uses restricted file permissions for session cookies and authentication tokens. The project also includes a utility to automatically detect and install necessary system binaries and command-line dependencies.
