 ### 2. Browser Automation (browser-use, Puppeteer MCP, Playwright MCP)
 Can interact with pages, but use a **one-agent-do-all** approach: the same reasoning model that's writing your code is also deciding where to click, what to type, and how to navigate. This overwhelms the context window and fragments focus.
 
-### 3. Comet MCP: Multi-Agent Delegation
-**Comet MCP takes a different approach.** Instead of Claude controlling a browser directly, it delegates to [Perplexity Comet](https://www.perplexity.ai/comet) - an AI purpose-built for web research and browsing.
+### 3. Comet MCP: Direct Control + AI Delegation
+**Comet MCP gives you both.** Direct DOM interaction for deterministic tasks (clicking, typing, form filling) AND delegation to [Perplexity Comet](https://www.perplexity.ai/comet) for AI-powered research and complex browsing.
+
+- **Direct mode** — `comet_interact` and `comet_navigate` give Claude instant, precise control over any web page via CDP. No AI middleman. Click buttons, fill forms, read content in milliseconds
+- **AI mode** — `comet_ask` delegates to Perplexity for research, summarization, and complex browsing decisions
+- **Sidecar mode** — `comet_ask` with `sidecar: true` keeps the current page visible and uses the Perplexity Assistant sidebar for page-aware Q&A
+- **Result**: Deterministic precision when you need it, AI intelligence when you want it
 
-- **Claude** stays focused on your coding task
-- **Comet** handles the browsing: navigation, login walls, dynamic content, deep research
-- **Result**: Claude's coding intelligence + Perplexity's web intelligence, working together
+> **For full toolkit installation, see the [canonical install guide](../docs/INSTALLATION.md).**
+> Run `npx comet-browser-automation install` from any compatible repo to set up all configuration automatically.

-## Tools
+## Tools (25)
+
+### Direct Interaction (2) — No AI, pure CDP
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `comet_interact` | Click, type, fill, check/uncheck, select, scroll, extract text, or run JS on the active page. Supports chaining multiple actions in one call |
+| `comet_navigate` | Navigate the active tab to any URL (QBO, Mercury, GitHub, etc.) without opening Perplexity |
+
+**`comet_interact` actions:** `click`, `type`, `fill`, `press`, `check`, `uncheck`, `select`, `scroll`, `wait`, `extract`, `evaluate`
+
+### AI-Assisted Browsing (9)
 
 | Tool | Description |
 |------|-------------|
 | `comet_connect` | Connect to Comet (auto-starts if needed) |
-| `comet_ask` | Send a task and wait for response |
+| `comet_ask` | Send a task to Perplexity and wait for response. Use `sidecar: true` to keep current page and ask via the assistant sidebar |
 | `comet_poll` | Check progress on long-running tasks |
 | `comet_stop` | Stop current task |
 | `comet_screenshot` | Capture current page |
 | `comet_mode` | Switch modes: search, research, labs, learn |
-| `comet_tab_groups` | Manage Chrome tab groups (list, create, update, delete) |
+| `comet_shortcut` | Trigger a Comet Query Shortcut |
+| `comet_read_page` | Extract page as accessibility tree + clean text |
+| `comet_wait_for_idle` | Wait for network activity to settle |
+
+### Tab Groups (1)
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `comet_tab_groups` | Manage Chrome tab groups (list, create, update, delete, archive, restore) |
+
+### Lifecycle (4)
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `comet_lifecycle_start` | Register a new lifecycle run |
+| `comet_lifecycle_complete` | Mark a run as completed |
+| `comet_lifecycle_abort` | Abort a run with optional reason |
+| `comet_lifecycle_update` | Update run metadata |
+
+Lifecycle tools are binding-aware: `start` attaches the run ID to the active or supplied Codex window binding, `complete` transitions the binding to `completed`, and `abort` transitions it to `stale`.
+
+### Orchestration (3)
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `comet_task_status` | Get unified status (session manifest + extension events + lifecycle) |
+| `comet_delegate` | High-level task dispatch with direct Codex binding creation/reuse, URL, and lifecycle setup |
+| `comet_observe` | Passively observe browser state, binding owners, and stale/conflict/unbound windows without disrupting active agents |
+
+## Codex Window Bindings
+
+Comet MCP routes multi-agent browser work through Codex window bindings. Each binding records the owning Codex session, repo/worktree, branch, `windowId`, `tabGroupId`, `targetId`, sidecar context key, lifecycle run IDs, and status.
+
+Binding rules:
+
+- Normal session agents can operate only on their own binding.
+- Worktree and fleet orchestrators can observe wider scopes, but cross-session mutation requires explicit target binding, reason, and audit.
+- `comet_task_status`, `comet_peek`, sidecar artifacts, lifecycle transitions, and delegation all resolve through the binding index instead of the currently focused window.
+- `comet_delegate` no longer shells out to the legacy session controller. It creates or reuses a binding directly and returns `bindingId`, `windowId`, `tabGroupId`, and `dispatchStatus`.
+
+Focus-independent routing means browser actions use the resolved binding's `targetId`, `windowId`, and `tabGroupId`, not whatever Comet window happens to be frontmost. Orchestrator-only cross-session actions must carry the target binding and audit reason so ordinary agents cannot accidentally mutate another agent's window.
+
+### Choosing the Right Tool
+
+| Task | Use | Why |
+|------|-----|-----|
+| Click buttons, fill forms | `comet_interact` | Direct CDP, milliseconds |
+| Navigate to a URL | `comet_navigate` | Immediate, no AI |
+| Read page content | `comet_read_page` | Structured a11y tree |
+| Research a topic | `comet_ask` | Perplexity's strength |
+| "Summarize this page" | `comet_ask(sidecar: true)` | Sidecar sees active tab |
+| Take a screenshot | `comet_screenshot` | Direct CDP capture |
