batch

Execute a sequence of device commands in a single request to automate multi-step workflows.

Instructions

Run multiple structured command steps in one daemon request.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sessionNoAgent-device session name.
platformNoPlatform selector used to resolve a device.
deviceTargetNoDevice target form. Maps to the CLI --target flag.
targetNoAlias for deviceTarget on commands without a UI target field. Interaction commands reserve target for the UI element.
deviceNoDevice name selector.
udidNoiOS device UDID selector.
serialNoAndroid serial selector.
iosSimulatorDeviceSetNoiOS simulator device-set path used for device resolution.
androidDeviceAllowlistNoAndroid serial allowlist used for device resolution.
daemonBaseUrlNoRemote daemon base URL.
daemonAuthTokenNoRemote daemon auth token.
tenantNoRemote tenant identifier.
runIdNoLease run identifier.
leaseIdNoExisting lease identifier.
cwdNoWorking directory for command execution.
debugNoEnable debug diagnostics.
stepsYesStructured batch steps. Each step uses a command name and the same input object as that command tool.
onErrorNoBatch failure policy.
maxStepsNoMaximum number of steps accepted for this batch.
outNoOptional output path for command artifacts.
stateDirNoAgent-device state directory.
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided. The description does not disclose behavioral traits like step execution order, error handling policy (though 'onError' parameter hints at it), or side effects. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the basic function.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence, front-loaded with the verb 'Run', and contains no redundant information. Highly concise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (21 parameters, no output schema, many sibling tools), the description is too minimal. It lacks context on return values, error behavior, daemon interaction, and how steps relate to individual command tools. The schema provides parameter details, but behavioral completeness is poor.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema has 100% coverage, so description does not need to repeat parameter details. Description does not add significant meaning beyond what the schema provides, but does not detract. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it runs multiple structured command steps in one daemon request. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools (individual commands) by emphasizing the batch aspect.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies use for batching multiple steps but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives. No mention of error handling or sequencing expectations.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
