Exactly! That's what I find most interesting about it. Instead of scraping the entire page, analyzing the DOM, and essentially guessing what can be done, the agent gets explicit information about the available actions. Fewer tokens wasted, fewer opportunities for confusion, and hopefully fewer "creative" interpretations of the UI 😅

And you're right, it opens up a lot of possibilities. Someone in another comment just mentioned accessibility as well. Combined with LLM-powered assistive tools, webMCP could potentially make websites even easier to use for people, not just for agents.

I'm really curious to see where this goes. From what I've read, Google is aiming for a first stable Chrome release later this year, so we'll probably learn pretty quickly whether developers find it useful in practice.
