Registration alone is not a production-quality guarantee. |\n| Browser execution | Automatic updates after valid input or file selection. |\n| Browser processing | Browser; see tool notes for network behavior. |\n| HTTP API | Not callable through HTTP. |\n| Browser-agent interface | run_current_tool |\n\n### Implementation notes\n\nEnter the rates from your actual seed product. New and overseeded areas must not overlap. Whole bags round up; zero areas require no seed. Runs on your device. Changing units keeps the entered numbers.\n\n### Inputs and settings\n\nNo free-text input is required. Use the file inputs and/or settings below.\n\n| Setting | Meaning | Control type | Default | Constraints |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `newArea` | New lawn area | number | 100 | min=0 max=1000000000 step=any |\n| `overseedArea` | Separate overseeding area | number | 50 | min=0 max=1000000000 step=any |\n| `areaUnit` | Area unit | select | \"m²\" | Allowed: m², ft², yd², acre, hectare |\n| `newRate` | Product seed rate for new lawn | number | 30 | min=0 max=1000000000 step=any |\n| `overseedRate` | Product seed rate for overseeding | number | 15 | min=0 max=1000000000 step=any |\n| `rateMassUnit` | Seed-rate mass unit | select | \"g\" | Allowed: g, kg, oz, lb |\n| `rateArea` | Reference area covered by each entered rate | number | 1 | min=0 max=1000000000 step=any |\n| `rateAreaUnit` | Seed-rate reference area unit | select | \"m²\" | Allowed: m², ft², yd², acre, hectare |\n| `extra` | Extra seed allowance (%) | number | 10 | min=0 max=200 step=any |\n| `bag` | Seed per bag | number | 5 | min=0 max=1000000000 step=any |\n| `bagUnit` | Bag mass unit | select | \"kg\" | Allowed: g, kg, oz, lb |\n\n### Browser-agent workflow\n\n1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.\n2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.\n3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.\n4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.\n5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.\n\nCalls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.\n\n### Planning specification\n\nUp to 1 million bags. Rates are editable examples, not recommendations for a seed type, season or site. Zero total area needs no seed.\n\nThis describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.\n\n### Complete machine-readable capability record\n\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"lawn-seed-calculator\",\n  \"category\": \"calculators\",\n  \"built\": true,\n  \"requirements\": \"Up to 1 million bags.
