Inspect native tooling via peekaboo tools |
deciding which automation tool to call from agents or scripts |
debugging missing tool registrations |
|
peekaboo tools prints the authoritative tool catalog that the CLI, Peekaboo.app, and MCP server expose. The command hydrates the native tool set (Image, See, Click, Window, etc.) so you can audit everything an agent will see without attaching a debugger.
| Flag |
Description |
--no-sort |
Preserve registration order instead of alphabetizing every tool. |
--json-output |
Emit {tools:[…], count:n} for machine parsing. |
- The command instantiates every native
MCPTool manually (ImageTool, ClickTool, DialogTool, etc.) so you see the same tool set the agent runtime will use.
- Filtering happens before formatting (
ToolFiltering.apply), so allow/deny rules match the agent + MCP server behavior.
- Because the command implements
RuntimeOptionsConfigurable, it respects global --json-output/--verbose flags even when invoked from other commands (e.g., peekaboo learn can embed the summaries verbatim).

- Verify Screen Recording + Accessibility permissions (
peekaboo permissions status).
- Confirm your target (app/window/selector) with
peekaboo list/peekaboo see before rerunning.
- Re-run with
--json-output or --verbose to surface detailed errors.
