## Tool capabilities

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Tool ID | `text-encoding-converter` |
| 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

Encode text locally and report replacements. The report contains base64 bytes; it does not upload your text.

### Inputs and settings

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

| Setting | Meaning | Control type | Default | Constraints |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `text` | Text | text | "Happytails" |  |
| `encoding` | Target encoding | select | "utf-8" | Allowed: utf-8, utf-16le, windows-1252, latin-1 |

### 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

Runs locally in your browser. Inputs remain on the device and no database or network connection is made.

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