v1.7.1 — Batch Fetch, Extract, Map, Response Cache

What's new in v1.7.1

3 new tools

• agentproxy_batch_fetch — fetch 2–20 URLs concurrently (up to 5x parallel), per-item error capture
• agentproxy_extract — structured field extraction (title, price, rating…), auto render_fallback escalation
• agentproxy_map — discover all internal links from a URL, powers the map → batch pipeline

Response cache

• Repeated fetches to the same URL cost zero proxy credits (default TTL 300s)
• meta.cache_hit + meta.cache_age_seconds on every response
• cache_hit propagated to batch per-item results
• Disable: PROXY4AGENT_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS=0

Agent-first design improvements

• Unified {ok, tool, data, meta} JSON contract across all 8 tools
• Typed ProxyErrorCode union + agent_instruction on every error
• ENOTFOUND → NETWORK_ERROR (was misclassified as TLS_ERROR)
• render_fallback: true on agentproxy_extract auto-escalates to real Chromium on TLS/bot block

Tests

113/113 passing (+11 cache unit tests)

v1.7.0 — Proxy4Agents MCP

What's New

New Tool: agentproxy_extract

Extract structured data from any URL — title, price, description, rating, author, date, image, links, headings. Uses meta tags, Open Graph, JSON-LD, and HTML pattern matching. Zero additional API cost.

agentproxy_extract(url="https://amazon.com/dp/...", fields=["title", "price", "rating", "review_count"])

Renamed to bestproxy4agents-mcp

claude mcp add bestproxy4agents-mcp \
  -e NOVADA_PROXY_USER=your_username \
  -e NOVADA_PROXY_PASS=your_password \
  -- npx -y bestproxy4agents-mcp

Old packages (proxy-veil, bestproxy4agents) are deprecated with redirect.

Bug Fixes

• timeout: 0 no longer silently defaults to 60s
• Retry loop now has exponential backoff (500ms)
• HTTP 429 rate-limit errors surface clear message
• Capability-mismatch warnings included in agent response (not just stderr)
• Status output locale-independent formatting
