Panniantong/Agent-Reach

Agent Reach is a Python-based toolkit that enables AI agents to interact with various online platforms by managing local browser sessions and third-party CLI tools. It provides a unified registry for discovering and verifying channel availability through strict, read-only health checks, while handling secure credential extraction and content fetching from services like social media and podcasts. The system also includes utilities for synchronizing upstream dependencies and transcribing audio, all wrapped in a CLI interface designed for safe, least-privilege operation.

Introduces a new OpenCLI backend in agent\_reach/backends that probes the user's real Chrome/Edge browser session via a local daemon and browser extension, enabling multi-channel access (e.g., xiaohongshu, reddit, bilibili, twitter) through a single desktop runtime. The implementation includes health-check logic that verifies installation, daemon status, and extension connectivity without triggering side effects, providing clear user hints if the extension is disconnected or files are present but not loaded.

A new shell script (transcribe\_xiaoyuzhou.sh) has been added to support transcribing podcasts from the Xiaoyuzhou platform. The script fetches audio from xiaoyuzhoufm.com, converts it to a low-bitrate mono MP3, and sends it to the Groq API for transcription. It includes an optional --polish flag to use the Groq Llama model for adding Chinese punctuation and paragraphing to the output. The script requires the GROQ\_API\_KEY environment variable or a configured agent-reach config file.

The agent\_reach/integrations module now includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes a 'get\_status' tool. This tool allows external agents to query the current installation and activity status of supported channels by invoking the underlying doctor report functionality, providing a standardized interface for health checks without exposing read/write capabilities.

Agent Reach is now available as a standalone tool that helps AI agents install and configure upstream platform tools (such as twitter-cli, yt-dlp, and mcporter) and perform health checks. The package includes a CLI with commands for one-shot installation, interactive configuration, and a 'doctor' command that reports channel availability. It features secure, least-privilege cookie extraction from local browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera) and a Whisper-based audio transcription module with provider routing (Groq/OpenAI) and strict safety limits. Configuration is managed atomically with strict file permissions, and the doctor command provides a rich, color-coded health report.

This commit introduces the x-reader package, a command-line tool that fetches and unifies content from multiple platforms including X/Twitter, YouTube, WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, Telegram, and RSS feeds. The tool provides a CLI interface for fetching URLs, managing a local JSON inbox, and saving content to Markdown files (compatible with Obsidian). It employs a multi-tier fetching strategy, using platform-specific APIs where available and falling back to Jina Reader or headless Playwright browsers for anti-scraping sites, with optional session management for authenticated content.

The repository now includes a structured CHANGELOG.md documenting all notable changes, a CLAUDE.md providing project structure and conventions for AI agents, and a SECURITY.md outlining vulnerability reporting procedures. The legacy mcp\_server.py file has been removed, as the project now relies on upstream tools and MCP server integration via the \agent\_reach/integrations/mcp\_server.py\ module.

The \agent\reach/channels\ package now provides a centralized registry (\\\init\\_.py\) and a \Channel\ base class (\base.py\) that standardize how platform integrations are discovered and verified. This framework introduces a tiered backend system (zero-config, free-key, or setup-required) and a strict read-only health-check protocol that probes installed tools without executing write operations or auto-refreshing credentials. It includes concrete implementations for platforms such as Bilibili (multi-backend with bili-cli and search API fallback), Boss直聘 (CDP-based login verification), GitHub (safe credential inspection), and V2EX (public API with TLS fallback), ensuring that the doctor check accurately reflects the actual availability and configuration state of each channel.

A new shell script, \scripts/sync-upstream.sh\, has been added to help maintain synchronization with the \runesleo/x-reader\ project. This tool clones the upstream \x\_reader/fetchers\ directory and compares its Python files against the local \agent\_reach/channels\ directory, highlighting any differences or new files. It provides a manual review workflow, suggesting specific \cp\ and \sed\ commands to merge updates while adjusting import paths, ensuring the local channel implementations stay aligned with upstream changes.

This change introduces new utility modules in agent\_reach/utils to improve security and cross-platform consistency. paths.py enforces least-privilege credential handling by ensuring HOME is honored, rejecting symlink paths, and creating private directories with strict permissions. process.py forces UTF-8 encoding in subprocess environments to prevent text corruption on Windows. text.py adds credential scrubbing for URLs and safe UTF-8 reading. url.py hardens input validation by blocking local/internal hosts and rejecting non-public HTTP(S) URLs, preventing SSRF-like attacks.

Comprehensive test suite for Agent Reach channels, configuration, and security policies; Design specifications for README partner and friend-link updates.

The package has been renamed from x-reader to agent-reach (version 1.5.0), introducing new dependencies including pyyaml, rich, and yt-dlp, while replacing the optional telegram dependency with browser-cookie3 for cookie import capabilities. The entry also adds development tooling configurations for ruff and mypy to enforce code quality and type checking.
