Give DSH your magic: plug sandboxed agents into your local HTTP proxy and fetch blocked sites, docs and APIs in one shot.

🤖 About this project

This project is developed and maintained entirely by AI: all code, tests and docs are generated by an AI (a DeepSeek Harness coding agent); humans only review, accept and publish the results.

Problem

When DSH runs commands inside its file sandbox (workspace-write), Windows schannel-based TLS (curl, PowerShell) cannot acquire credentials, so every HTTPS request fails with SEC_E_NO_CREDENTIALS. Node.js ships its own TLS stack and is unaffected — but the sandboxed shell still can't reach the network reliably, and the user's local proxy (e.g. 127.0.0.1:7897) is only used if every tool remembers to pass it.

What this bundle does

Tools run in the DSH Host process (Node.js), outside the file sandbox, so TLS works. The bundle:

• net_fetch — fetch an HTTP(S) URL through the user's proxy via a manual CONNECT tunnel (no schannel, no dependencies). Follows redirects, enforces timeouts / size caps / SSRF guards, returns text or a truncated body.
• net_proxy_status — report which proxy (if any) DSH processes will use: user-level env vars, current-process env, and the Windows system proxy.

Proxy discovery order: explicit proxy argument → HTTPS_PROXY / HTTP_PROXY env → Windows system proxy (registry Internet Settings).

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add <this-package>
# or: dsh plugin --profile desktop add <this-package>

Reload/restart DSH, then the tools are available to the agent.

Usage

Fetch a page through the proxy:

net_fetch(url: "https://github.com/")
→ [200] https://github.com/ (via proxy) 1212ms …

Diagnose proxy configuration:

net_proxy_status(checkReachability: true)
→ effective: http://127.0.0.1:7897
  proxy reachable: true
  probe: [204] https://www.gstatic.com/generate_204 ok=true

In action: the agent chaining net_fetch calls while thinking (screenshot):

Tests

npm test
# inside the sandbox, where spawning test subprocesses is blocked, run in-process:
node --test --test-isolation=none test/fetch.test.js

Security

• Scheme restricted to http: / https:
• SSRF guard: private/loopback/link-local targets rejected by default (allowPrivate: true opts in)
• Response size capped (default 1 MiB), timeout capped (default 30 s)
• Redirects limited (5) and re-validated against the same guards
