ui_menu_bar_click
Screen, windows & UI · macOS · Windows
Effect: execute (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
Clicks a status-bar (menu bar extra / NSStatusItem) item and optionally follows a nested menu path. Best-effort via the app's AX extras menu bar; apps that render fully custom (non-AX) menus may not be reachable (fall back to ui_click at known coords). Requires Accessibility permission.
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.

}Windows
Purpose
Clicks a Windows notification-area (system tray) icon by label — the analogue of a menu-bar extra. Best-effort via UI Automation over the taskbar tray; apps that render a fully custom tray icon may not expose a label (fall back to ui_click at known coords). Some icons live in the hidden overflow flyout, which this does not open.
