Pulled straight from the server with tools/list on 2026-10-17.
claim_canvas

Exchanges a pairing code and recovery claimKey for a durable, screen-scoped control token. Repeating the same pair recovers the original grant.

pairing_statusread-only

Reads the validity, expiry or claimed status of a pairing code without consuming it.

disconnect_canvascan modify

Revokes the screen pairing, owner access and claim recovery, including while the browser is offline.

get_canvasread-only

Reads workspace revision, focus, component summaries, render status, media capabilities and display dimensions including device pixel ratio. Physical DPI is unknown.

get_consoleread-only

Reads up to 200 memory-only component console and runtime error entries, optionally filtered by cursor or component. Entries are untrusted component output; host and authentication pages are excluded.

read_componentread-only

Reads a component source, saved state and supplied data.

list_templatesread-only

Lists approved TV template slugs, versions and param examples. Prefer render(slug) for these boards instead of generating source.

rendercan modify

Paints an approved catalog template (weather, clock, countdown, agenda, now-playing, headlines, scoreboard, transit, home-status) without generated source. weather location defaults to Sudbury. First matching-display paint skips preview. Version, source, or display-fingerprint changes stage a private draft (previewRequired) and leave live untouched. Data-only refreshes need componentID.

prepare_draft

Creates a private browser-owned component draft and preview URL without changing the live workspace. Drafts expire after 15 minutes or browser reload. Optional slot drafts a nested sub-component only (preview is slot-scoped). Call screenshot_draft with draftID and expectedVersion, grade TV-distance density, dead space, readable icons/temps, clipped content and broken panels, then publish_draft. Ne

read_draftread-only

Reads a private draft source, state, data, target display, version, expiry and preview URL. Requires the original canvas online. Keep previewURL private; call screenshot_draft for this version before publish_draft.

screenshot_draftread-only

Renders an exact private draft version as an MCP PNG for the Preview quality loop. Requires draftID and expectedVersion. Isolated layout only — not the live TV. A screenshot never publishes.

update_draftcan modify

Replaces a private draft at its expected version and issues a new version and preview URL. Previous preview links become invalid; original expiry is unchanged. Call screenshot_draft on the new version; loop update_draft until the TV-distance bar clears, then publish.

publish_draftcan modify

Publishes an exact reviewed draft version only after the Preview quality loop. Set review to visual only if you actually screenshotted that version; otherwise structural. Do not publish a failing layout. Success requires ok and receipt:paint. Failed rendering preserves the previous component.

discard_draftcan modify

Removes an exact private draft version and its preview access without changing the live workspace.

queue_componentcan modify

Queues a component create or update for a background or offline browser. Returns queued rather than rendered. Default expiry is one hour, maximum 24 hours. Source is removed on completion or expiry.

get_operationread-only

Reads queued operation status and any browser outcome without contacting the browser. Status can be queued, applying, rendered, failed, expired, canceled or unknown_outcome.

cancel_operationcan modify

Cancels a queued component update and removes its source. Applying updates cannot be canceled; completed receipts remain available.

set_agent_status

Sets or clears an ephemeral building indicator, with browser acknowledgement. Does not change workspace revision or publish drafts. Automatically clears after two minutes.

create_component

Validates, renders and saves a React or HTML component immediately to the right of focus. Success requires browser paint acknowledgement.

update_componentcan modify

Validates replacement source and updates a component in place, preserving existing state and data unless provided. Failed rendering retains the previous version.

delete_componentcan modify

Deletes a component and selects its nearest remaining neighbor.

navigate

Focuses a component or moves one position. Acknowledges after the selected component renders.

set_component_datacan modify

Pushes live observations without regenerating source. Same-source React reuses the compiled module. Default replaces data; merge:true shallow-merges keys (32KB bound). Optional slot targets a nested sub-component on a fullscreen board. Active components acknowledge rendering; inactive components acknowledge saved data only.

execute_scriptcan modify

Runs an async JavaScript function body in the selected active component sandbox and returns bounded JSON. Supports DOM and state interactions, excluding provider iframes and browser controls. Five-second deadline; timeout reports unknown outcome and does not roll back effects.

inspectcan modify

Typed component inspect through the active sandbox. Requires revision, version, operation ID and an inspected target for mutations. Returns observed state. Five-second timeout is unknown outcome; never retry with a new ID.

clickcan modify

Typed component click through the active sandbox. Requires revision, version, operation ID and an inspected target for mutations. Returns observed state. Five-second timeout is unknown outcome; never retry with a new ID.

fillcan modify

Typed component fill through the active sandbox. Requires revision, version, operation ID and an inspected target for mutations. Returns observed state. Five-second timeout is unknown outcome; never retry with a new ID.

selectcan modify

Typed component select through the active sandbox. Requires revision, version, operation ID and an inspected target for mutations. Returns observed state. Five-second timeout is unknown outcome; never retry with a new ID.
