Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_simsA | List available simulator devices (udid, name, state, runtime). |
| boot_simB | Boot a simulator. Defaults to the already-booted sim, else the first available iPhone. |
| install_appB | Install a built .app bundle onto the simulator. |
| launchA | Launch an installed app by bundle id. Returns the launch output (pid). |
| terminateC | Terminate a running app by bundle id. |
| reset_appC | Uninstall then reinstall an app for a clean state. |
| deeplinkB | Open a URL / universal link in the simulator (jump straight to a screen). |
| set_permissionB | Grant/revoke/reset a privacy permission for an app (e.g. photos, camera, location, notifications). |
| describe_uiA | PRIMARY PERCEPTION. Return the accessibility tree of the current screen as a list of elements (label, type, value, enabled, frame). Reason over this and tap by label. |
| screenshotA | Capture a PNG screenshot of the current screen. Use as the vision fallback when an element is not exposed in the accessibility tree, or to verify state. |
| tapA | Tap an element by accessibility label (preferred) or by raw x,y coordinate (fallback). Provide either |
| type_textB | Type text into the currently focused field. Tap the field first to focus it. |
| swipeA | Swipe/scroll from one point to another. Either give a |
| press_buttonC | Press a hardware button (HOME backgrounds the app; LOCK locks the screen). |

TDQS
Scored across 14 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: simulator management (boot_sim, list_sims), app lifecycle (install_app, launch, terminate, reset_app), interaction (tap, swipe, type_text, press_button), perception (describe_ui, screenshot), and configuration (set_permission, deeplink). No two tools overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent lowercase underscore convention (snake_case) with imperative verbs (e.g., boot_sim, install_app, describe_ui). The pattern is uniform across all 14 tools, enhancing predictability.
14 tools is well-scoped for an iOS simulator driver, covering essential operations: setup, app management, interaction, perception, and configuration. The count is neither excessive nor insufficient for the domain.
The toolset covers core simulator workflows: app install/launch/terminate/reset, UI interaction (tap, swipe, type), perception (accessibility tree, screenshot), and permissions. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no dedicated uninstall or app state query), but agents can work around them.
