Pressing Send does not modify a repository and does not post the human text to the public remote MCP server. It creates an ephemeral, page-session WebMCP handoff that the browser agent can discover and read. The selected skill constrains how the agent should work; actual changes still require the agent's separately authorized repository, filesystem, deployment, or other tools.

+

Pressing Send does not modify a repository. It publishes the same bounded handoff to browser WebMCP and to volatile remote MCP session memory. A remote client that keeps the session notification stream open receives notifications/tools/list_changed, lists tools again, and can then invoke tiw_human_handoff. Editing the request or changing the selected skill retracts the handoff; remote records expire automatically after the bounded TTL. Actual changes still require the agent's separately authorized repository, filesystem, deployment, or other tools.

-
hmmmWebMCP can expose a newly sent handoff to the agent; the current web standard does not give a page authority to force the browser agent to read it or to inject a prompt into the agent.
+
hmmmThe page can notify a conforming remote MCP client that its tool list changed and can expose a dynamic browser WebMCP tool. Neither transport gives the page authority to force a model to reason or act; the agent host still decides when to invoke available tools.
