Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| lookup_appA | Look up what SDKs, frameworks, and dependencies a specific desktop application uses. Returns the full technology stack including error tracking, analytics, UI framework, payments, and 7 other SDK categories, plus detailed dependency list with versions. Accepts app names (e.g., "Figma", "Slack", "1Password") or bundle IDs (e.g., "com.figma.Desktop"). Covers 12,000+ macOS and Windows apps. |
| search_appsA | Search for desktop applications by SDK usage, runtime, platform, or developer. Use this to find which apps use a specific SDK (e.g., "Which apps use Sentry?"), discover technology adoption patterns, or research a developer's products. Supports all 11 SDK categories, runtime (electron/native/qt/flutter), platform (macos/windows), and developer name. Pass "null" as an SDK value to find apps without that SDK type. At least one filter is required. |
| compare_appsA | Compare the technology stacks of two desktop applications side by side. Shows SDK differences, shared technologies, and metadata comparison. Useful for competitive analysis (e.g., "Compare Figma vs Sketch", "Compare Slack vs Discord"). Uses 2 API calls. |
| list_sdk_categoriesA | List all 11 SDK categories tracked by Desktop Insights with their API field names and example SDKs for each. Use this to discover what filters are available for search_apps, or to understand the sdkSummary fields returned by lookup_app. |
