  • origin-trialWebMCP is an experimental origin trial and local testing requires the enable-webmcp-testing flag
  • protocol-revisionChrome 153 separates tool unregistration from cancellation of in-flight execution; execution cancellation remains exposed through AbortSignal
Evidence
  1. 1. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Chrome's WebMCP Imperative API documentation exposes AbortSignal for canceling pending execution and passes a cancellation signal into the tool callback; Chrome 153 separately changed registration abort so unregistering no longer breaks in-flight work.
