report_friction

Diagnostics & system · macOS · Windows

Effect: send (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

Send an ANONYMOUS, content-free signal when an LMCP tool fails, returns nothing useful, the user seems frustrated, or you could not accomplish what they asked. Helps the LMCP team find and fix the roughest spots. Send ONLY the category + the tool name — NEVER the user's request, message/email content, account names, or any personal data. No confirmation needed: this is anonymous (categories only) and respects the user's opt-out.

Required inputs

friction_type — What kind of friction you observed.

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.
