Input

Structured user input

Output

Expected output

Network

Provider and network requirements

These tools need governed outbound network access to fetch public pages or DNS/TLS data, but no new provider integration is enabled in this pass.

Controls

Abuse controls before activation

Activation needs request budgets, host validation, and safe-content parsing controls.

Privacy

Privacy posture

No durable storage is introduced in this pass.

Status

Why execution is not active yet

Execution is already active for this tool on the governed runtime lane.

Common use cases

Typical scenarios this tool supports.

SEO readiness

Indexing and metadata posture.

Stage pages stay noindex and production canonical metadata remains informational only until production indexing is explicitly approved.

Limitations

Current constraints.

Traditional execution is active only for approved governed tools, including the current converter, calculator, and text-tool batches already accepted on develop.
This tool remains readiness-only in PASS-SURF2. The execute endpoint returns a safe 409 inactive response.
No payment, provider, OAuth, API-key, or durable-storage flow is active in this pass.

FAQ

Common questions.
