| Tool ID | `gift-budget-planner` |

### Implementation notes

Budgets are compared on this device with exact cents, for up to 250 rows.

### Inputs and settings

Text input: Gifts as CSV, or a backup file.

Example or placeholder shown in the interface (not a validated fixture):

```text
recipient,budget,idea,price,status
```

Status is idea, to-buy, bought, wrapped or given. Put the budget on each recipient's first row. Up to 400,000 characters. Review the settings before running.

No additional settings are declared for this tool.

### 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 250 rows and 100,000 characters of CSV, or a backup file of up to 500 records and 400,000 characters made by this tool. Amounts up to 99,999,999.99. Everything is calculated on your device. Downloads: JSON report, CSV and a JSON backup.

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

## Spent and planned

Gifts marked bought, wrapped or given count as spent. Ideas and gifts still to buy count as planned. The remaining amount is the budget minus what is spent, and the report also shows the position if every planned gift is bought.

### Exact amounts

Prices and budgets use up to two decimal places and are added exactly in cents, with no currency conversion. Gifts without a price are counted separately so nothing is assumed.

### Keeping your records

Nothing is uploaded. Every result includes a backup file. Paste or open that backup later to pick up where you left off, because records kept in a browser can be lost when site data is cleared.
