In default `proxyMode: "location"`, retryable failures rotate to a new residential proxy and new browser session for up to 5 attempts. `maxResults` defaults to 10 and is capped at 50.
 - `maps_place_intel` — hydrate one known/named Google Maps business with profile details and optional reviews. Use after `maps_search` when a selected candidate needs full details.
-- `directory_workflow` — build city-by-city directory/prospecting datasets from Census place selection plus Google Maps searches. Use it for requests like "all cities over 100k population in Tennessee, then get 20 roofers from Maps." The saved CSV includes `source_location`, `result_position`, `business_name`, `review_stars`, `category`, `address`, `phone`, `hours_status`, `website_url`, `directions_url`, `place_url`, `cid`, `cid_decimal`, Census population, and ZIP groups. It captures Maps star ratings from list cards, not profile review counts.

 - `rank_tracker_blueprint` — generate a database schema, cron/heartbeat plan, ingestion workflow, metrics list, and implementation prompt for building rank trackers. It has modes for Maps rankings via `directory_workflow`/`maps_search`, organic rankings via `search_serp`, AI Overview citation tracking, and PAA source presence tracking. This is a local planning tool and does not spend credits.

 For accurate annotated videos, do not guess annotation times from a script. Start the replay, navigate until each target is visible and stable, call `browser_replay_mark` for each callout, then stop the replay and pass the returned annotations to `browser_replay_annotate` with the returned `source_width` and `source_height`.
 
-For US local SERP tools (`harvest_paa` and `search_serp`), keep `proxyMode` at the default `location` unless you are debugging. Location mode uses fresh residential proxy IDs across retries and treats CAPTCHA, proxy tunnel failure, and wrong-location evidence as retryable before returning.
+For US local SERP tools (`harvest_paa` and `search_serp`), keep `proxyMode` at the default `location` unless you are debugging. Location mode uses fresh residential proxy IDs across retries. When Google shows a CAPTCHA/challenge, browser-service sessions briefly wait for automatic challenge solving first, then rotate to a new proxy/session if the challenge does not clear. Proxy tunnel failure and wrong-location evidence are also retryable before returning.

+For Google Maps tools (`maps_search` and `directory_workflow`), keep `proxyMode` at the default `location` for US city/state work. Retryable Maps failures such as CAPTCHA, timeout, proxy tunnel failure, proxy unavailability, or browser-session death rotate to a new residential proxy and a new browser session for up to 5 attempts. Successful structured responses include sanitized attempt telemetry so callers can verify the proxy source, observed city/region, and attempt count without exposing full proxy or browser IDs.
 
 The MCPB bundle and `mcp-scraper-combined` expose both sections through one local MCP server. The split `mcp-scraper` entrypoint exposes only the web-intelligence tools, and the split `browser-agent` entrypoint exposes only the browser-agent tools.
