description: 4-tier progressive scraping with automatic escalation: Tier 1 WebFetch (fast, built-in), Tier 2 curl with Chrome headers (basic bot bypass), Tier 3 agent-browser (headless JavaScript rendering via Rust CLI daemon), Tier 4 Bright Data MCP proxy (CAPTCHA, advanced bot detection, residential proxies). Two workflows: FourTierScrape for single URLs, Crawl for multi-page site mapping (light crawl via scrape_batch loop up to 50 pages, or full crawl via Bright Data Crawl API). Always starts at Tier 1 and escalates only when blocked — Tier 4 has usage costs. Outputs URL content in markdown format.
