Implementation Reference
- src/simulator/video.ts:63-96 (handler)Core handler function that stops the ongoing simulator video recording by killing the simctl process, registers the video as an artifact, and returns the saved path.export async function stopVideoRecording(): Promise<VideoRecordingInfo> { logger.info("simulator", "Stopping video recording"); if (!recordingProcess || !currentVideoPath) { throw createError("SIMCTL_FAILED", "No video recording is in progress"); } // Send SIGINT to stop recording gracefully recordingProcess.kill("SIGINT"); try { await recordingProcess; } catch { // Process may exit with non-zero on SIGINT, which is expected } const savedPath = currentVideoPath; artifactManager.registerArtifact({ type: "video", path: savedPath, metadata: { captureMethod: "simctl" }, }); recordingProcess = null; currentVideoPath = null; logger.info("simulator", `Video recording saved: ${savedPath}`); return { isRecording: false, path: savedPath, }; }
- src/mcp/server.ts:209-228 (registration)MCP tool registration for "simulator.record_video.stop". Defines empty input schema and handler that delegates to stopVideoRecording() from simulator/video.ts.server.tool( "simulator.record_video.stop", "Stop video recording and save the file", {}, async () => { try { const result = await stopVideoRecording(); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ success: true, ...result }, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error) { return handleToolError(error); } } );
