ipc_execute_command

Execute Tauri IPC commands to invoke Rust backend functions for app automation. Requires an active driver session.

Instructions

[Tauri Apps Only] Execute Tauri IPC commands (invoke Rust backend functions). Requires active driver_session. This is Tauri-specific IPC, not browser APIs. For Electron IPC or browser APIs, use appropriate tools for those frameworks.

Input Schema

appIdentifierNoApp port or bundle ID to target. Defaults to the only connected app or the default app if multiple are connected.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already signal non-readOnly, non-destructive, non-openWorld. Description adds requirement of active driver_session but does not elaborate on side effects or return behavior. No contradiction.

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?

Two concise sentences cover purpose, prerequisite, and framework specificity. No unnecessary information.

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?

Tool invokes arbitrary backend functions but lacks details on return values, error handling, or security implications. Given no output schema and low schema coverage, the description is incomplete.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 33% with only appIdentifier described. Description does not explain command format, expected values for args, or how to structure parameters, leaving ambiguity.

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 the verb 'Execute' and resource 'Tauri IPC commands', and distinguishes from sibling tools like ipc_emit_event or webview_execute_js by specifying it's for Tauri Rust backend functions.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Description explicitly states when to use (Tauri apps) and when not (Electron/browser APIs), and mentions prerequisite of active driver_session. Could be more detailed about setup.

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