## Tool capabilities

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Tool ID | `day-of-week-calculator` |
| Category | date-time-tools |
| 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

Uses the proleptic Gregorian calendar for years 1 through 9,999. Historical local calendar adoption is not modeled. Time zones cannot shift the entered calendar date.

### Inputs and settings

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

| Setting | Meaning | Control type | Default | Constraints |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `date` | Calendar date | date | "2026-10-06" |  |

### 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

The tool uses the Gregorian calendar extended backward for years 1 through 9,999. It does not account for when individual countries adopted that calendar, so use care with historical dates.

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