Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_electron_window_infoB | Get information about running Electron applications and their windows. Automatically detects any Electron app with remote debugging enabled (port 9222). |
| take_screenshotA | Take a screenshot of any running Electron application window. Returns base64 image data for AI analysis. No files created unless outputPath is specified. |
| send_command_to_electronA | Send JavaScript commands to any running Electron application via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Enhanced UI interaction commands:
IMPORTANT: Arguments must be passed as an object with the correct properties: Examples:
Use 'get_page_structure' or 'debug_elements' first to understand available elements, then use specific interaction commands. |
| read_electron_logsB | Read console logs and output from running Electron applications. Useful for debugging and monitoring app behavior. |

Scored across 4 tools
The tool set has significant overlap and unclear boundaries. The first three tools (get_electron_window_info, read_electron_logs, send_command_to_electron) are distinct, but the 'Enhanced UI interaction commands' section contains 14 tools that are poorly differentiated. For example, 'debug_elements' and 'get_page_structure' seem to serve similar purposes, and 'click_by_text' vs 'click_by_selector' are just different targeting methods rather than distinct operations. This creates confusion about which tool to use for basic UI tasks.
The naming conventions are inconsistent and chaotic. The first three tools use snake_case with clear verb_noun patterns, but the UI interaction tools mix styles: some use snake_case ('click_by_text'), others use camelCase ('getPageStructure' in the description but 'get_page_structure' as the tool name), and some are just verbs ('eval'). There's no discernible pattern across the entire set, making it difficult to predict tool names.
With 17 total tools (3 core + 14 UI interaction), the count is borderline heavy for an Electron automation server. While Electron automation can justify many tools, the UI interaction section feels bloated with redundant or overly specific tools (e.g., separate tools for 'get_title', 'get_url', and 'get_body_text' instead of a unified 'get_page_info'). The count would be more appropriate if the UI tools were consolidated into fewer, more general-purpose tools.
For an Electron automation server, the tool surface is reasonably complete. It covers core areas: window detection, log reading, command execution, UI interaction (with extensive element targeting methods), and screenshots. The main gap is the lack of window management tools (resize, minimize, close windows) and application lifecycle control (launch/quit apps). However, the existing tools cover most common automation workflows, with the UI interaction section being particularly thorough despite its redundancy issues.
