list_displays
Screen, windows & UI · macOS · Windows
Effect: read (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
Lists connected displays with bounds (global space, top-left origin, points), backing scale_factor, and which is main. display_id is the CGDirectDisplayID — the SAME value list_windows reports for each window's display_id, so you can map a window to its display. Stable for the session. No permission required.
Required inputs
No required inputs are declared in this platform's schema. Optional selectors and runtime requirements may still apply.
Permissions and confirmation
No explicit confirmation parameter is exposed in this snapshot. This does not grant permission to act: obtain user authorization before any real action.
- Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.
