What It Provides
The package exposes 18 MCP tools:
0.9.1 highlights
input_textnow selects an IME-safe strategy for digits, Unicode, and ASCII text without changing the active input method.Handle and unambiguous search targets are observed until their exact final value is visible or the verification deadline expires.
Reliable text input verifies both foreground-window state and element focus before any text or shortcut is dispatched.
UI mutations are serialized per HDC endpoint and device, while separate devices remain concurrent.
press_keydistinguishes event dispatch from application-level effect verification.
Parameter notation:
name: requiredname?: optionalname*: conditionally required, depending on the selected mode or target
Device-targeted tools also accept hdc_server? for wireless debugging by IP. Pass the wireless HDC endpoint, for example 192.168.43.34:35215, to route commands as hdc -t 192.168.43.34:35215 .... If both a device SN and an IP endpoint are needed, pass device_id as the SN and hdc_server as the IP endpoint; commands are routed as hdc -t <SN> -s <IP:port> .... You can also set HARMONYOS_HDC_SERVER as a default endpoint.

press_key accepts all 354 OpenHarmony InputKit KEYCODE_* definitions. Key
names are case- and separator-insensitive, so KEYCODE_PAGE_UP, PageUp, and
page-up are equivalent. Use input_text for strings and Chinese text.
click and long_press report dispatched=true, effect_verified=false when
the device accepts the command. This confirms delivery, not an application
state change.
For reliable text entry, call find_elements or wait_for_element first and
pass the returned element_handle to input_text. A search target is also
verified when it resolves to exactly one element. Coordinate mode cannot read
the target value, so it sends the original text without cleanup tricks and
returns dispatched=true, verified=false.
input_text never toggles the active IME. Internally it uses direct entry for
short ASCII digits, native paste for Unicode or long text, and a verified
sentinel-assisted paste for other ASCII text. The sentinel is removed only
after the exact sentinel-bearing value is observed. Paste strategies may
replace the device clipboard; check clipboard_modified in the result.
Handle and search modes first click the target, then observe both
focused=true and a foreground target window before dispatching text. Set
INPUT_FOCUS_TIMEOUT_MS to change the default 5000ms focus budget. A
background or occluded target that does not acquire focus returns
INPUT_FOCUS_TIMEOUT without dispatching text.
Input verification also uses a deadline rather than a fixed delay. Set
INPUT_VERIFY_TIMEOUT_MS to change the default 15000ms value budget.
Successful observations return immediately. Password fields and some Web/Chromium
accessibility fields may not expose or accept deterministic text operations;
these return a verification error with the last observed actual_text instead
of claiming success. A failed write may still leave partial text in the target.

wait_for_element.timeout_ms is a strict wall-clock budget covering device
queries, polling sleeps, and the stability confirmation. When the budget
expires, the tool returns WAIT_TIMEOUT without starting another observation;
timeout_ms=0 returns immediately without querying the device.
build_app supports HarmonyOS HAP, HAR, HSP, APP, and HNP build flows. HSP outputs can also be integrated into a HAP with include_hsp=true.
Detailed validation rules, result fields, errors, and examples are in the tool reference.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. 'Build' implies a write operation, but there is no mention of whether it is destructive, requires specific permissions, or has side effects (e.g., cleaning previous builds). The schema includes 'is_clean' but description does not address it.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely short (4 words), which is under-specification rather than efficient conciseness. It fails to include necessary details that would fit in a concise but informative description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 8 parameters, no output schema, and no parameter descriptions, the description is grossly inadequate. It does not explain what the tool returns, how to interpret results, or any constraints.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the description must compensate for explaining all 8 parameters. It provides zero information about parameters like target, product, build_mode, etc., leaving the agent with no additional semantic value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Build HarmonyOS artifact' provides a verb (build) and a resource (HarmonyOS artifact), making the general purpose clear. However, it lacks specificity about what kind of artifact (e.g., HAP, HAR) and does not differentiate from sibling tools like run_app or install_app.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, context (e.g., need for a configured project), or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only mentions default behavior (error-focused) and a mode for markers, but does not disclose read-only nature, side effects, rate limits, or authentication needs. The 24 parameters are not addressed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
While the description is concise (2 sentences), it is under-specified for a tool with 24 parameters. It lacks structure and does not earn its place by adding value beyond the name. Additional sentences or bullet points for key parameters would improve it.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the high parameter count (24), no schema descriptions, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return format, filtering logic, time ranges, or how to use most parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description only covers the 'mode' parameter minimally. Over 20 parameters (e.g., pid, tag, lines, keyword) are completely undocumented, providing virtually no semantic guidance beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool queries HarmonyOS logs for errors or business markers, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools (UI actions/app management) by focusing on log querying.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context: default mode for errors and explicit guidance on using mode parameter for markers. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or reference alternatives, though sibling differentiation is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Tool has no description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Tool has no description.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Tool has no description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Tool has no description.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Tool has no description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Many tools (e.g., click_element, drag, find_element) lack descriptions, making them indistinguishable. Even with names, similar actions (press_key vs click_element) are ambiguous without documentation.
Naming patterns are mixed: verb_noun (click_element, install_app) appears, but also single words (screenshot, swipe) and object_verb (logs_query). Inconsistent convention hinders predictability.
With 18 tools, the count is slightly above the ideal 3–15 range for a focused server, but still reasonable for UI automation and app lifecycle management. Not excessive.
The tools cover basic CI/CD and UI automation (build, install, uninstall, run, UI interactions, logs). However, missing descriptions and lack of update/debug tools suggest notable gaps in full lifecycle support.
