🛠 Cockroach Crawler — Managed Web Crawlers for AI Agents
The open-source TypeScript library Cockroach Crawler has been introduced. It allows AI agents to traverse websites (BFS, DFS, adaptive), render JavaScript via Chromium, and parse PDFs, all while ensuring strict control over resources and security.
🌍 The tool addresses the issue of AI agent unpredictability on the web by creating a "controlled vision" layer with protection against SSRF and DNS verification.
👤 It will help RAG system developers collect high-quality data without turning their agents into uncontrolled botnets.
