TL;DR
The efficiency hierarchy Claude follows when choosing how to complete a task.
Definition
The efficiency hierarchy Claude follows when choosing how to complete a task. Connectors are fastest (structured API data). The browser is next (web page navigation). Computer Use is last (screen interaction via screenshots). Like choosing between a garlic press, a food processor, and a kitchen knife — always use the most efficient tool available.
Exam Context
Questions present a task and test whether you choose the fastest available tool. If a connector exists for the service, Computer Use is the wrong answer.
