Record the screen for a fixed duration and return a numbered, timestamped contact sheet (a grid of still frames) as an image. Use this to inspect motion: dragging, animations, flashes, reordering, anything that cannot be understood from a single screenshot. Raw frames are also saved to disk.

Capture a single screenshot immediately and return it as an image. Uses the same region-selection semantics as record.

Begin an OPEN-ENDED recording that runs until stop_recording is called. Use this (instead of record) when the USER controls the timing — e.g. they will perform a drag, open a menu, or trigger an animation and you cannot predict how long it takes. Start it on the user's cue, tell them to perform the interaction, then call stop_recording. Only one recording may be active at a time.

Stop the recording started by start_recording and return the contact sheet (plus full-resolution frame paths), exactly like record. Errors if no recording is in progress.

List visible windows (title, process, and geometry where available) so a target can be chosen for window capture.

Return a single frame from a prior recording at FULL RESOLUTION, as an image. The contact sheet from record is a downscaled overview; when it is too small to read fine detail or small text, call this with the recording's directory and the frame number (both are listed in the record response), or with a direct frame path. This works over MCP without filesystem access.
