Description
What
Add an RSSFeedFetcher that detects RSS/Atom feeds (via content-type or XML structure) and returns structured feed entries.
Why
Agents monitoring blogs, release feeds, changelogs, and news sources encounter RSS/Atom feeds. The current DefaultFetcher returns raw XML, which is hard for LLMs to parse effectively. A dedicated fetcher provides clean, structured entries.
Requirements
- Detect via content-type:
application/rss+xml,application/atom+xml,text/xml(with RSS/Atom root element) - Parse both RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 formats
- Return: feed title, description, link, last updated
- For each entry: title, link, published date, summary/description, author, categories
- Format field:
"rss_feed" - Limit entries to most recent N (configurable, default ~20)
- Preserve HTML content in entry descriptions via existing
html_to_markdownconversion
Design Notes
- XML parsing needed — consider
quick-xmlcrate (same as potential ArXiv dependency) - Content-type detection should happen early in the fetch pipeline
- Could also detect RSS feed links in HTML pages (
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">) and offer to follow them - This fetcher detects by content-type rather than URL pattern — slightly different matching strategy
