Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| screenshotA | Take a screenshot of the current state of the screen. Returns a JPEG image. Call this frequently to observe what is on screen. |
| left_clickA | Click the left mouse button at the specified coordinates. |
| right_clickA | Click the right mouse button at the specified coordinates. |
| middle_clickB | Click the middle mouse button at the specified coordinates. |
| double_clickA | Double-click the left mouse button at the specified coordinates. |
| left_click_dragA | Click and drag the mouse from start_coordinate to coordinate. |
| typeB | Type text at the current cursor position. Works with any Unicode text. |
| keyA | Press a key or key combination. Use "+" to combine modifiers, e.g. "ctrl+c", "command+shift+z". Named keys: escape, return, tab, space, delete, up, down, left, right, f1–f12. IMPORTANT: On macOS, always prefer "command" over "ctrl" for standard shortcuts — e.g. use "command+a" (select-all), "command+c" (copy), NOT "ctrl+a"/"ctrl+c". "ctrl+a" and similar ctrl-shortcuts may trigger third-party app global hotkeys. |
| hold_keyC | Hold one or more keys for a duration. |
| mouse_moveA | Move the mouse cursor to the specified coordinates without clicking. |
| scrollC | Scroll the mouse wheel at the specified coordinates. |
| cursor_positionA | Get the current cursor position as {x, y} in screenshot coordinates. |
| zoomA | Take a zoomed-in screenshot of the area around the specified coordinate. |
| request_accessA | Request permission to control specific applications. Call this FIRST before any other computer-use tool. The user will approve or deny access for each app. |
| switch_displayA | Switch the active display for subsequent screenshots and actions. |

TDQS
Scored across 15 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action: separate mouse clicks, dragging, mouse movement, scrolling, text input, key combos, key holding, and screen observation. The only near-overlap is type/key, but type is for Unicode text while key is for shortcuts and named keys, so the boundary is clear.
Most tools follow a lowercase snake_case action-oriented pattern like left_click, mouse_move, hold_key, and request_access. A few names are noun-style or bare verbs—key, screenshot, cursor_position—making the pattern slightly inconsistent, but they are still readable and predictable.
15 tools is well-scoped for a computer-use MCP server covering mouse, keyboard, screen capture, display switching, and permission handling. Each tool serves a distinct and justified purpose without redundancy.
The toolkit covers the core computer-use loop thoroughly: observe via screenshot/zoom, inspect cursor state, perform mouse actions, input text and keyboard shortcuts, hold keys, drag, scroll, and manage permissions/displays. There are no dead ends for common GUI automation workflows.
