Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| SYSCONTROL_ALLOW_POWER | No | Enable power actions (reboot/poweroff). Set to 1 to allow; requires SYSCONTROL_ALLOW_ACTIONS=1. | 0 |
| SYSCONTROL_ALLOW_ACTIONS | No | Enable mutating actions (e.g., set brightness, launch apps). Set to 1 to allow. | 0 |

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_directory_treeA | Compact directory tree (names + sizes), depth/entry-bounded. Understand a config dir's structure without reading any file contents. Args: path, max_depth (1–6), max_entries cap, show_hidden. |
| read_config_snippetA | Read a slice of a text/config file — never the whole thing blindly. If grep_pattern is set, returns only matching blocks (+context lines); otherwise returns lines [start_line, end_line]. Hard cap max_lines. |
| grep_fileC | Regex-search a single file, returning matching lines with numbers. |
| check_command_existsB | Is a CLI tool installed? Returns presence + absolute path. |
| get_process_topA | Top resource-consuming processes (sort_by 'cpu' or 'memory'). |
| get_process_infoA | Detailed info for one PID: cmdline, cpu/mem, threads, open files. |
| inspect_process_ioA | Open files & network connections held by a process (debug hangs). |
| find_processesC | Find processes whose name/cmdline matches a substring. |
| get_hardware_sensorsA | Live sensors: temps, fans, battery (category 'temps'/'fans'/'battery'/'all'). |
| get_battery_healthA | Battery health via upower: capacity, cycles, energy, state. |
| get_system_infoA | OS, kernel, uptime, CPU/mem summary, load average. One cheap call. |
| get_cpu_infoA | CPU model, core counts, per-core frequency and current governor. |
| get_disk_usageC | Mounted filesystems with usage % (real disks only). |
| get_block_devicesA | Block devices / partitions via |
| list_usb_devicesA | Connected USB devices ( |
| list_pci_devicesB | PCI devices ( |
| get_gpu_infoA | GPU summary: vendor (lspci VGA) + NVIDIA stats if nvidia-smi present. |
| get_service_statusA | Status of a systemd unit + last few journal lines. Args: service: unit name (e.g. 'bluetooth.service'). scope: 'system' or 'user'. log_lines: recent journal lines to include (0–40). |
| list_servicesC | List systemd units. state: 'running','failed','enabled','all'. |
| list_failed_servicesB | All failed units — fastest 'what's broken?' check. |
| query_journalctlB | Filtered journal query — never dump the whole journal. Args: service: unit to filter (empty = all). since: e.g. '10 min ago', 'today', '2026-06-10'. priority: e.g. 'err' to show err..emerg only. lines: max lines (1–300). grep_pattern: extra regex filter applied to the result. scope: 'system' or 'user'. kernel: kernel ring messages (journalctl -k). |
| list_coredumpsC | Recent application crashes ( |
| diagnose_crashA | Inspect a coredump ( Args: match: PID, executable name or COMM; empty = most recent crash. limit_lines: cap on returned lines. |
| check_kernel_ring_bufferA | Kernel messages by level (dmesg, falls back to journalctl -k). Surfaces driver/hardware issues (USB resets, audio, bluetooth drops) without reading the whole boot log. level e.g. 'err,warn' or 'err'. |
| get_boot_performanceC | Slowest units at boot ( |
| list_dbus_servicesA | List D-Bus names on the session or system bus (filterable). |
| get_dbus_propertyA | Read a D-Bus property (or all of an interface) via busctl. Example: service 'org.kde.KWin', path '/KWin', interface 'org.kde.KWin'. Leave name empty to dump the whole interface. |
| control_serviceA | [ACTION] start/stop/restart/reload/enable/disable a systemd unit. Gated by SYSCONTROL_ALLOW_ACTIONS. System scope may prompt for auth (polkit). Returns rc + new ActiveState. |
| kill_processB | [ACTION] Send a signal to a PID (default SIGTERM). Gated. |
| bluetooth_statusA | Bluetooth adapter status (powered, discoverable, pairable). |
| bluetooth_devicesC | List known/paired Bluetooth devices (name + MAC). |
| bluetooth_scanC | Scan for nearby Bluetooth devices for a few seconds. |
| bluetooth_powerA | [ACTION] Turn the Bluetooth adapter on or off. |
| bluetooth_connectB | [ACTION] Connect to a paired Bluetooth device by MAC. |
| bluetooth_disconnectB | [ACTION] Disconnect a Bluetooth device (empty MAC = all). |
| bluetooth_pairC | [ACTION] Pair (and optionally trust) a Bluetooth device. |
| get_brightnessA | Current display brightness (percent) for internal backlight(s). |
| set_brightnessA | [ACTION] Set display brightness to a percentage (1–100). |
| get_power_profileA | Active power profile + available ones (power-profiles-daemon). |
| set_power_profileA | [ACTION] Set power profile: performance / balanced / power-saver. |
| get_cpu_governorB | Current CPU frequency governor + the ones available. |
| set_cpu_governorA | [ACTION] Set the CPU governor on all cores (e.g. performance, powersave). Uses cpupower; needs root. Reports the permission requirement honestly. |
| get_volumeA | Default audio sink volume & mute state (PipeWire/wpctl or pactl). |
| set_volumeB | [ACTION] Set default sink volume to a percentage (0–150). |
| set_muteB | [ACTION] Mute or unmute the default audio sink. |
| get_now_playingA | Current media: player, status, artist/title (MPRIS via playerctl). |
| media_controlB | [ACTION] Control playback: play/pause/play-pause/next/previous/stop. |
| list_desktop_appsB | List installed .desktop application IDs (for launch_app). |
| launch_appA | [ACTION] Launch an app: a .desktop id, or a binary on PATH. Examples: 'firefox', 'org.kde.dolphin', 'code'. Extra args optional. Detaches the process so it outlives the request. |
| open_pathB | [ACTION] Open a file/folder/URL with the default handler (xdg-open). |
| get_kde_themeA | Current KDE color scheme, icon theme, look-and-feel & plasma version. |
| list_color_schemesA | Available KDE color schemes (for set_color_scheme). |
| set_color_schemeA | [ACTION] Apply a KDE color scheme by name (see list_color_schemes). |
| set_global_themeC | [ACTION] Apply a KDE global theme / look-and-feel package. |
| kde_notifyC | Send a desktop notification (notify-send). Harmless, ungated. |
| kwin_reconfigureA | [ACTION] Tell KWin to reload its configuration. |
| lock_sessionA | [ACTION] Lock the screen. |
| suspend_systemA | [ACTION] Suspend (sleep) the system. |
| power_actionB | [POWER] reboot / poweroff — needs SYSCONTROL_ALLOW_POWER too. Double-gated to avoid accidental data loss. |
