## Tool capabilities

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Tool ID | `randomize-list` |
| Category | text-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 | /api/v1/tools/randomize-list/run |
| Browser-agent interface | run_current_tool |

### Inputs and settings

Text input: Your text.

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

```text
Type or paste your input…
```

Up to 1,000,000 characters. Review the settings before running.

No additional settings are declared for this tool.

### HTTP contract

API calls process supplied data on the server. The website origin is `https://happytails.ai`. Server API hosting is not connected on the public website yet. Use your local server origin to test these requests.

```http
POST https://happytails.ai/api/v1/tools/randomize-list/run
Content-Type: application/json
```

#### Recorded request and response

Saved fixture from 2026-09-28T18:13:41Z. This is historical evidence, not a new validation or a guarantee for every input.

```json
{
  "input": "A\nB\nC",
  "options": {}
}
```

```json
{
  "tool": "randomize-list",
  "result": {
    "text": "C\nB\nA",
    "files": [],
    "name": "result.txt",
    "mime": "text/plain;charset=utf-8"
  }
}
```

#### Error and retry handling

Failures return a non-200 status and `error.code` plus `error.message`. Correct invalid input before retrying; retry server-busy responses with bounded backoff. Returned files contain Base64 data, not persistent download URLs. Decode and inspect the output before treating conversion as successful. See the shared API guide for the complete status and timeout rules.

### 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

Shuffle without duplication; preserve each line as one entry.

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

## Page guide

Shuffle lines into a random order.

## How to use Randomize list

1. Enter your text in the input field.
2. Review the settings, then choose Run Randomize list.
3. Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.

## What to expect

Shuffle lines into a random order. Each input line remains once per occurrence. Repeated lines and blank lines are preserved.

### Try a small example

```
A
B
C
```
