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
Types text into the focused control (or focuses element_ref first, then types). Sends real key events so validation/handlers fire. The result is VERIFIED BY READING the control back, not by the write succeeding: {typed, verified:true} means its value actually changed; input_not_applied is an explicit error meaning the events were posted and the value did NOT change (nothing was typed — usually the window is not frontmost); verified:false + verification:'unavailable' means the target publishes no readable value, so delivery could not be confirmed and you should read it back yourself. Requires Accessibility permission.
Required inputs
text— The text to type.
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.
