## Tool capabilities

| Browser processing | Browser; see tool notes for network behavior. |

### Implementation notes

Apply a percentage raise to hourly or annual gross pay. Hours and paid weeks set the annual equivalent. Estimates exclude taxes, deductions and overtime.

### Inputs and settings

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

| Setting | Meaning | Control type | Default | Constraints |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `amount` | Current pay | number | 25 | min=0 max=1000000000000 step=any |
| `period` | Pay period | select | "Hourly" | Allowed: Hourly, Annual |
| `raise` | Raise (%) | number | 10 | min=-100 max=10000 step=any |
| `hours` | Paid hours per week | number | 40 | min=0.01 max=168 step=any |
| `weeks` | Paid weeks per year | number | 52 | min=0.01 max=53 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

The estimate is gross pay in your chosen currency. It excludes taxes, deductions, overtime and changes in paid time. The monthly increase is the annual difference divided by 12.

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