Replace DOM scraping and screenshot analysis with explicit machine-callable APIs—register named, typed tool handlers that agents invoke directly instead of simulating clicks.

Summary
Eliminates token-expensive vision processing and brittle coordinate-based automation. Agents complete multi-step workflows deterministically without CSS layout shifts or ad load delays breaking execution.

Implementation verdict
Replaces RPA-style click simulation with declarative (HTML attributes) or imperative (registerTool) API exposure. Requires annotating forms or writing tool handlers with JSON schemas. Origin trial now—ship production code when Chrome stabilizes, likely Q1 2025.
