• optix_cdp_key

  Press one named key on the running Optix HMI (CDP dispatchKeyEvent, keyDown+keyUp).

• optix_cdp_navigate

  Zero-screenshot navigation to a banked screen: replays a sequence of clicks from a routes JSON file instead of screenshot -> locate -> click, click again.

• optix_cdp_ocr

  OCR the runtime canvas via tesseract — an OPT-IN, text-only read-back.

• optix_describe_node

  Introspect one node in the LIVE model via the design-time bridge.

• optix_describe_type

  Property schema of a builtin UI type from the LIVE model — the "shape" of a control (which properties it has, their datatypes), so an edit can be composed against the real schema instead of guessed YAML. `type_name` is a catalog name from optix_list_ui_types (e.g. "Label", "Button"). Bridge-only (else `bridge_unavailable`); `node_not_found` for an unknown type.

• optix_emulator
• optix_execute_methodwrite action

• optix_find

  Search a project's text files for a literal string — server-side.

• optix_get_project_map

  Component map of the project (names + nesting) in ONE call — the cheap way to learn structure instead of walking it with repeated optix_describe_node.

• optix_get_skill

  Full content of one bundled playbook by name (from optix_list_skills).

• optix_interact
• optix_list_projects

  List Optix projects under OPTIX_PROJECTS_ROOT. You RARELY need this: every project-scoped tool defaults to the project open in Studio when `project` is omitted.

• optix_list_screens

  List the Screen / Panel / Dialog nodes in a project's UI — the starting point for any UI edit.

• optix_list_skills

  Catalog of the bundled authoring playbooks — one line each (proven recipes for navigation, bound controls, styles, expressions, alarms). Scan for a matching pattern, then optix_get_skill(name) for just that one.

• optix_list_ui_types

  List the builtin UI type catalog from the LIVE model — "what controls exist?" (Label, Button, Rectangle, Panel, DataGrid, Trend, …), read from Studio's type system, not guessed. Bridge-only (else `bridge_unavailable`). Pair with optix_describe_type for a type's property schema.

• optix_observe

• optix_read_file

  Read a UTF-8 file under an Optix project, optionally a line range.

• optix_read_netlogic

  Launch FTOptixRuntime against the swapped runtime tree for `project`.

  Probe a runtime instance's reachability.

• optix_runtime_stop

  Stop FTOptixRuntime processes attached to `project`'s runtime tree.

• optix_save

  Persist the open project to disk (sends Ctrl+S to Studio).

• optix_schema

  Studio type-schema operations — ONE tool, pick an `action`. Consolidates the optix_schema_dump / _list / _diff family (each formerly its own tool); replaced cleanly, no deprecated aliases.

• optix_set_property

  Author a find/replace edit changing one inline property — no deploy.

• optix_statuswrite action

  Deploy-stack status family — ONE tool, pick an `action`. Consolidates optix_health / optix_doctor / optix_services_status / optix_studio_version (each formerly its own tool); replaced cleanly, no deprecated aliases.

• optix_studio_log

  Tail Studio's own log, FTOptixStudio.0.log — the only place Studio reports that it REJECTED an optix_execute_method call (which optix_execute_method now surfaces itself as state="rejected").
