DeviceLink lets you share folders from your computer with AI assistants, securely and in real-time. Nothing is uploaded. Your files stay on your machine, and are only accessible while the device sharing them is connected - your agent while it runs, or a browser tab while it stays open.
Scored across 4 tools
device_tool_call and discover have clearly distinct roles (execution vs. enumeration), and device_ping is scoped to a single device. The only soft overlap is between device_ping and health, since both are liveness checks, though the descriptions distinguish device-level from server-level status.
Two tools use a device_ prefix (device_ping, device_tool_call) while the others are bare nouns (discover, health), and there is no consistent verb_noun pattern. Names are still readable and not ambiguous, but the convention is mixed.
Four tools is compact, and because device_tool_call acts as a multiplexer over remote tools, the surface is effectively broader than the count suggests. It is slightly thin, with device_ping and health being near-neighbors in purpose, but nothing feels redundant overall.
Discovery, execution, and liveness checking are covered, but there are no lifecycle operations such as connecting/registering a device, cancelling or polling a long-running tool call, or managing shared-folder contents despite folders being referenced. Agents can work around these, but the surface has notable gaps.
Check that a device is reachable and how long a round trip takes. Reads no files, needs no shared folder and consumes no credit, so it is the safe way to prove a device is live.
Inputs: echo, device_id, workspace_id.
Execute a tool on a connected device. Use discover first to find available tool names, device IDs, and workspace IDs. When workspace_id, device_id, or directory_id are omitted, the server uses the unambiguous default if one exists.
Inputs: tool (required), args, device_id, request_id, +2 more.
Discover workspaces, devices, shared folders, and available tools in one call. Call this first to understand what is available before invoking device_tool_call. Automatically selects workspace, device, or folder when only one option exists; returns a list of choices when disambiguation is needed.
Inputs: tools, devices, device_id, directories, +2 more.
