• boot_device

  Boot an iOS simulator or Android emulator by name (e.g. "iPhone 17 Pro", "Pixel_8") or id,

• check_change

  After editing code: apply the change and return the evidence in one call, instead of

• clear_network_requests

  Forget every captured request for a session, in the daemon and in the app itself.

• dashboard_action

  Used by the Baton card: refresh; catalog (projects and devices for New run); run a project target on a device; boot a device;

• diagnose

  Search bounded log and network evidence across projects. Defaults to errors only and 20 findings.

• forget_sessionwrite action

  Remove stopped sessions from the list. Running sessions must be stopped first. Use all=true to clear every stopped session.

• get_network_request

  One captured request in full: headers, timeline events, and optionally the bodies.

• hot_reload

  Hot reload a session, keeping app state. Flutter only. Returns code 0 on success; a non-zero code carries the compile error.

• hot_restart

  Hot restart a session, dropping app state. For web dev servers and plain processes this reboots the process.

• inspect_project

  Read fresh launch sources, configuration problems, nested projects and guidance file paths. Does not run commands or expose environment values. Use before choosing an environment, checkout and device; review screenshot evidence rather than treating capture as visual approval.

• list_checkouts

  List git checkouts this project can run from: This checkout, linked worktrees, local branches, remotes.

• list_devices

  List connected devices, simulators and emulators available to Flutter. Use boot_device to start one that is not running.

• list_network_requests

  List HTTP requests the app has made, newest last. One line each:

• list_proofs

  List past proof bundles, newest first.

• list_run_historywrite action

  List past and current runs persisted on disk -- survives daemon restarts. Each line is

• list_sessions

  List running sessions with their status, capabilities, URLs and device.

• list_targets

  List everything runnable in a project: launch.json configs, package.json dev scripts, Flutter entrypoints.

• read_launch_config

  Read a project's launch.json exactly as written -- comments, formatting and all -- plus the

• read_logs

  Read recent output from a session, newest last. Use filter to grep for an error: it searches

• run_proofwrite action

  Run proof verification and return a zip with screenshots, network call counts, response times and logs.

• run_targetwrite action

  Start a target by name. Returns the new session id to use with the other tools. Optional branch or checkout runs from a git worktree without moving the current folder.

• run_workflowwrite action

  Launch up to eight project targets in dependency order and wait for each to become ready, in one call. Stops launching dependents on failure. Returns compact session IDs, URLs and errors; retains sessions for debugging. Use browser/device tools next to validate the actual flow. Paths must be absolute.

• screenshot

  Capture the screen of a running session so the visual result of a change can be checked.

• session_summary

  Cheap structured overview -- call this before deciding what to do next.

• set_debug_flag

  Toggle a framework debug flag on a running Flutter session, e.g. ext.flutter.debugPaint with {enabled: true} or ext.flutter.timeDilation with {timeDilation: 5}. Values are sent as the strings Flutter expects.

• show_dashboard

  Show a live Baton control panel in the chat: every running app with its simulator or URL, status, CPU and memory;

• stop_session

  Stop one session, or every running session with all=true.

• wait_for

  Block until a session reaches a state. Use after run_target or hot_restart instead of polling read_logs.
