## Tool capabilities

| --- | --- |
| Tool ID | `ico-to-png` |
| Category | image-tools |
| Implementation | Registered implementation. Registration alone is not a production-quality guarantee. |

| Browser-agent interface | run_current_tool |

### Implementation notes

Exports the icon frame chosen by your browser as a transparent PNG. Multi-size ICO files contain several frames; this tool does not export every frame. CUR cursor files are not supported.

### Inputs and settings

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

Accepted browser files: `.ico,image/x-icon,image/vnd.microsoft.icon`. Choose one file.

Browser file-input limit: 10000000 bytes in total. HTTP limits can differ.

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

An ICO can contain several sizes or color depths. This tool exports the frame selected by your browser, not every embedded frame. Windows CUR cursor files are not supported.

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