## Tool capabilities

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Tool ID | `checksum-manifest-verifier` |
| Category | developer-tools |
| Implementation | Registered implementation. Registration alone is not a production-quality guarantee. |
| Browser execution | Use the visible action or interactive controls. |
| Browser processing | Browser; see tool notes for network behavior. |
| HTTP API | Not callable through HTTP. |
| Browser-agent interface | run_current_tool |

### Implementation notes

Files are read locally in bounded chunks and never changed. Only selected files are inspected. Cancel at any time.

### Inputs and settings

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

Accepted browser files: `See implementation notes`. Multiple files are supported.

Browser file-input limit: 536870912 bytes in total. HTTP limits can differ.

| Setting | Meaning | Control type | Default | Constraints |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `format` | Manifest format | select | "SHA256SUMS" | Allowed: SHA256SUMS, Happytails JSON v1 |
| `manifest` | Paste the checksum manifest | textarea | "" |  |

### 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 2,000 files, 512 MiB total and 256 MiB per file. Paste SHA256SUMS or the Happytails JSON v1 format. Unknown, missing and mismatched files prevent a complete match. Files are never changed or fetched from manifest paths.

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

## Choose one local folder

Use the folder picker and confirm the files you want to inspect. Nested paths are preserved. Choosing another folder replaces the selection.

### Review the result

Check selected files against a SHA-256 manifest and report changes, missing files and unlisted files.

### Download your report

Save the report or manifest to keep the results. Your source files are unchanged, and the processing stays in your browser.
