Grok Build registers 21 tools, covering 5 of 6 compared capabilities. It registers no built-in tool for browser.
Surface size
tools registered, across the 13 harnesses hereSurface size, not quality. Every registered tool spends context on every request, so a longer bar is a cost as much as a capability — and a harness that reaches a capability through a general tool may register fewer.
