## Tool capabilities

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Tool ID | `pizza-dough-calculator` |
| Category | calculators |
| Implementation | Registered implementation. Registration alone is not a production-quality guarantee. |
| Browser execution | Automatic updates after valid input or file selection. |
| Browser processing | Browser; see tool notes for network behavior. |
| HTTP API | Not callable through HTTP. |
| Browser-agent interface | run_current_tool |

### Implementation notes

Enter your proven recipe percentages and process. Time and temperature are recorded in the report; the tool does not predict fermentation or convert yeast types. Calculated on your device. Changing units keeps the entered numbers.

### Inputs and settings

No free-text input is required. Use the file inputs and/or settings below.

| `roomHours` | Planned room-stage hours | number | 2 | min=0 max=168 step=any |
| `roomTemperature` | Planned room-stage temperature (°C) | number | 22 | min=-10 max=50 step=any |
| `coldHours` | Planned cold-stage hours | number | 24 | min=0 max=720 step=any |
| `coldTemperature` | Planned cold-stage temperature (°C) | number | 4 | min=-10 max=50 step=any |

### Browser-agent workflow

1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.
2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.
3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.
4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.
5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.

Calls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.

### Planning specification

Up to 1,000 balls and 100% spare dough. Hydration up to 200%; fermentation times and temperatures are user-supplied planning assumptions.

This describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.

### How to use Pizza dough calculator

1. Enter the measurements and assumptions for this recipe or plan.
2. Review the calculated quantities and their stated basis.
3. Download the report and verify it against your measured result.

## Work back from the dough balls

The total dough mass determines flour, then water, salt, oil, sugar and yeast follow their percentages. Extra allowance creates spare dough instead of quietly enlarging each ball.

### Keep your fermentation plan with the recipe

Enter your yeast type, rate, hours and temperatures. These are recorded for your recipe; the tool does not infer yeast activity, convert yeast types or validate storage safety.

### Save the result

Download CSV and a text or JSON report with the calculation and its assumptions. Processing stays on your device. Check measurements and selected units before using the result.
