BCD — Bridge Control Delegate

run_applescript

Destructive

Run AppleScript as the logged-in macOS user. Accessibility permission may be required for UI control.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`script`	Yes
`deviceId`	No	Computer name or id from list_devices. Optional with one computer online or a default set.
`workSessionId`	No	Work session from create_work_session. Pass the same ID on every call in this conversation; omit for legacy unscoped work.

B3.2/5.0

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the risk profile is known. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond them: it runs as the logged-in user and may need Accessibility permission for UI control. It does not, however, mention return behavior, error handling, or the destructive implications of arbitrary script execution.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the core action and followed by the one operational caveat. No filler, though it is arguably too terse for a code-execution tool.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining what the tool returns, and it says nothing about script output, exit status, or failure modes. For an arbitrary-code-execution tool this is a meaningful omission.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 67%, with deviceId and workSessionId well documented in the schema and script self-evidently the code to execute. The description adds no parameter-level meaning, so it neither compensates for the gaps nor improves on the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource ('Run AppleScript') plus the execution identity (logged-in macOS user), which is clear enough to understand the tool. However, it does not distinguish itself from the close sibling run_command, which an agent could reasonably pick instead.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no explicit when-to-use guidance and no mention of alternatives such as run_command or browser_action. The only contextual cue is the accessibility-permission note, which hints at UI-control scenarios but stops short of routing the agent.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
