Agent mesh · macOS

Effect: write (strongest supported action). Status: gated.

Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.

macOS

Purpose

Decides whether this computer's installed Agent Mesh contract allows acting on one Mesh message, from the message's sender and type only, never its content. For an allowed action it returns a cap_id and the exact steps: pass mesh_cap_id with each step's tool call, in order; any other call is refused while the action is in progress. For an informational message it says how to close it (ack or reply). A rejection says why and nothing may be done for that message. Works only when Mesh auto-wake is enabled on this computer.

Required inputs

Permissions and confirmation

Explicit confirmation parameter: inspect the schema and tool description before any real call. The documentation example keeps confirm false. Obtain user authorization before performing the action.
