# extract

`station__vigilbrowser__extract` · external (needs EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL configured) · domain `vigilbrowser` · pv-relevance `non-pv`

Structured scrape from the session's current page. Modes: text | list | html | attribute | table. Example: extract({"session_id": "...", "selector": "table.results", "mode": "table"}).

> **Note:** This tool routes through an external execution backend. If `EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL` is unset on the server, calls return JSON-RPC error `-32603 "Tool execution backend not configured"`. Tools with `backend: native` execute in-process and are always callable.
