You do not get any braking action advise from the tower because they have no way of measuring it. It has been established that previous methods such as Mu meters were very inaccurate and did not replicate how an aircraft would react in the same conditions. Now there is a runway matrix which uses reported braking action from landing crews converted to a code to give guidance.
