Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Hypruse Tools (15)

desktop

One-call semantic snapshot: monitors, workspaces, windows (address/class/title/geometry), active window, cursor, and layer surfaces (launchers, bars, notification popups) with a best-effort kind and geometry

screenshot

Focused monitor, exact window crop by address, or `x,y,WxH` region; returns image + coordinate-mapping metadata; fast JPEG by default (`lossless=true` for PNG); `stable=true` waits for the frame to settle

zoom

Native-resolution re-capture around an estimated point (optionally clamped to a window): the precision step before clicking small controls, same metadata contract

Read a window's accessibility tree (AT-SPI, GTK/Qt apps that expose one) and return clickable elements by name with exact global coordinates, no screenshot; reports current values too (typed text, slider position, checkbox state); falls back to vision when an app exposes nothing
