For site actions, list `webmcp` tools first; use `site_tool_missing` with `capability_area: "webmcp"`, an optional public registrable `site_domain`, and a generic action name. Site requests are routed separately as `webmcp_catalog_demand`; reporting does not install a tool, so continue with Playwright when possible.

Accepted requests emit `mcp_capability_requested`; clients using the previous context-only schema receive a non-recording refresh response instead of a tool error. - `submit_feedback` - Send product, bot-detection, config-registry, MCP, or documentation feedback directly to the KERNEL team without interrupting the current task. Reports include a normalized task outcome; MCP reports identify one KERNEL-owned tool. Config-registry reports connect exactly one observed outcome to the browser session, recommendation metadata and evidence, and unchanged browser and proxy settings. - `open_auth_login` - Open a secure interactive Managed Auth MCP App after user consent.
