De quoi il s'agit

Le Model Context Protocol est la façon dont Claude parle à des logiciels extérieurs à lui. Connecter ALI lui donne des outils pour vos téléphones, votre équipe et vos automatisations. Vous dites ce que vous voulez, Claude regarde l'écran et le fait.

Une connexion porte votre propre accès et rien de plus : les téléphones que vous voyez, dans l'agence depuis laquelle vous l'avez autorisée.

Ce que Claude peut faire

Tout ce qui modifie quelque chose vous demande d'abord, à chaque fois. Un toucher et une invitation ne s'annulent pas.

Outil	Ce qu'il fait	Permission	Demande d'abord
list_devices	List phonesList the phones this connection can reach, with their names, whether each is online, and whether it is currently casting its screen. Call this first to find the public_id of a phone before doing anything else with it. A phone no relay reports any more is left out, so a phone missing here is one nothing can drive rather than one that does not exist; get_device still answers for an id you already hold. Paginated: pass the returned next_cursor back as cursor for the next page.	devices.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
get_device	Get one phoneRead one phone's current state: whether it is online, whether it is casting, its screen size, iOS version and the box hosting it. Use this to check a phone is ready before driving it, and to poll after recast_device until casting is true.	devices.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
capture_screen	Capture the screenTake a screenshot of a phone and return it as an image. The coordinates you read off this image are the ones tap_device and swipe_device take, so capture before deciding where to tap, and again afterwards if you need to confirm what happened.	devices.snapshot	Non, il ne fait que lire
tap_device	Tap the screenTap a point on the phone's screen. Coordinates are in the pixel space of the image capture_screen returns, so read the position off that image and send it as-is without scaling. If a tap lands somewhere other than where it was aimed, call recentre_pointer once and try again; some handsets need that occasionally.	devices.control	Oui
swipe_device	Swipe the screenSwipe the phone's screen, either by direction for paging through a feed, or between two exact points read off a screenshot for dragging a slider or an icon. Give either direction, or all four of from_x, from_y, to_x and to_y. A direction swipe with no distance is drawn the way a hand draws it, a little differently every time; a swipe between two points, or one carrying a distance, is drawn exactly as you gave it. Set precise to change either. A gesture can be accepted and still move nothing, unlike a tap, so capture the screen afterwards when it matters rather than assuming it worked.	devices.control	Oui
type_text	Type textType text into whatever field currently has focus on the phone. Tap the field first. Plain short ASCII goes over the keyboard directly; anything longer, or with emoji or accents, is pasted through the clipboard instead and can take a few seconds.	devices.control	Oui
press_button	Press a buttonPress a hardware, system or keyboard key on the phone: home, the app switcher, lock, screenshot, enter, the keyboard toggle, control centre, notifications, the volume keys, mute, backspace, tab, or an arrow. Use times to repeat it: backspace with times is the only way to clear a field that already has text in it, since type_text appends rather than replaces.	devices.control	Oui
set_device_state	Change a phone settingTurn a phone's wifi, cellular data, airplane mode or torch on or off, or set its screen brightness. Use level for brightness and on for everything else.	devices.control	Oui
rotate_ip	Rotate a phone's IPGet a phone a fresh public address and score it. On a phone with its own mobile data this cycles airplane mode, the way the guide says to before every sign-up; on proxy Wi-Fi it calls the router's rotation link, which rotates every phone on that router. A phone on ALI Wi-Fi has no address of its own and is refused. Takes about half a minute; this waits for the outcome and answers with the new address and its fraud score (0 clean to 100, with a risk word), or with a running rotation to check again by calling this tool once more. One rotation per phone at a time.	devices.control	Oui
set_device_label	Rename a phone or set its stickerChange what a phone is called, or the inventory sticker recorded for the handset. The sticker is unique across the fleet and can be used in place of a public_id anywhere a phone is named, which is what makes it worth setting on a phone that has none. Renaming does not touch the phone itself, only the record everything looks it up by.	devices.write	Oui
recentre_pointer	Re-centre the phone's pointerPut a phone's pointer back in a known place. Reach for it when a tap lands somewhere other than where it was aimed, or once before a sequence that will tap a lot; it is not something to do between every tap. It changes nothing on screen, so a screenshot before and after looks the same, and it works on a phone that is not casting.	devices.control	Oui
check_device_control	Check who is driving a phoneReport whether a phone is free, held by a person, or held by an automation, and since when. Call this before a run that will hold a phone for a while, so a busy handset can be skipped rather than failing a step partway through. A phone somebody else is holding refuses taps until they stop or until take_device_control is used.	devices.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
take_device_control	Take control of a phoneTake a phone that somebody else is currently driving. A phone held by an automation is handed over at once. A phone held by a person asks them first and waits about three seconds for an answer, so this tool can take that long to return; if they refuse, it reports that and does not take the phone. Reach for it when check_device_control or a refused tap says a phone is busy and the work cannot wait. Whoever is taken off keeps watching and can take the phone straight back.	devices.control	Oui
recast_device	Restart the phone's screen mirroringRe-establish a phone's screen mirroring. This is the fix for a phone that is online but not casting, which is the most common thing that goes wrong on a rack. It is expensive and disruptive: on a phone that is already casting it bounces the session and the screen is gone while it reconnects. It answers as soon as the box accepts the request, not when the phone is back, so poll get_device until casting is true. Budget up to two minutes, and treat a phone still dark after that as needing a person rather than another recast.	devices.control	Oui
close_app	Force-close the front appForce-close whatever app is in front, the way a person does by hand: open the App Switcher and flick its card away. Bring the app you mean to the front first (open it, or press home and tap it), then call this. It works on any casting phone and does not need the on-device helper, so it reaches a frozen or stuck app that the helper verbs cannot. It does not choose which app to close: it closes the one in front, so do not call it speculatively from an unknown screen. It reads the screen back before answering, so a success means that app is no longer showing - firmly on a still screen, less so on an app that animates anyway (a video, a feed), where the check cannot tell movement from a close. A failure means that app is still on screen, and is not a retry: with more than one app open the first flick may already have thrown a different app's card, and calling again throws another. Take a capture_screen and look instead.	devices.control	Oui
send_binding_key	Finish setting up a handsetALI staff only, and only during the one-time preparation of a handset. Sends the spare pointer button that the setup screen is waiting to capture, which is what completes the step. Use it on one screen and no other: Settings, Accessibility, Touch, AssistiveTouch, Devices, the listed pointer device, Customize Additional Buttons. Do not reach for it on a phone that is already prepared: everything it prepares a phone for is done by type_text, set_device_state and the media tools, each of which does its own work. While that screen is open, do not tap the phone. It captures any button including the ordinary one, and capturing that leaves the handset unable to be tapped at all, with no way to undo it remotely.	devices.control + ALI staff (fleet.phones)	Oui
start_media_upload	Start sending a file to a phoneStep 1 of 3. Reserve a slot for a photo or video and get back a one-time upload_url. You then PUT the file's bytes to that URL yourself (the bytes do not go through this tool), and then call finish_media_upload with the asset_id you get here. Give the real byte size: the vault checks what actually arrives against it.	media.write	Oui
finish_media_upload	Finish sending a file to a phoneStep 2 of 3. Call this once you have PUT the bytes to the upload_url from start_media_upload. It checks with storage that the file really arrived, then queues it for the phone. Safe to call again if it fails: a repeat re-checks and re-queues rather than duplicating. The phone may show a one-time permission prompt the first time anything is sent to it.	media.write	Oui
check_media_delivery	Check whether a file arrivedStep 3 of 3. Report how a file is getting on: awaiting_upload, stored, queued, sending, delivered or failed. Poll this after finish_media_upload rather than assuming it worked, and read the error field when it says failed.	media.write	Non, il ne fait que lire
get_usage_summary	Agency usage summaryRead the agency's overall usage for a period: active minutes, how many people and phones were used, gestures sent, and a day-by-day trend. Use this to answer questions about how busy the agency has been. Figures cover the whole agency, not just the phones you can reach.	analytics.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
get_member_usage	Usage per personRead how much each person in the agency used the phones over a period: desk minutes, active minutes, how many phones they touched, how many sessions they sat, and gestures sent. Use this to compare activity across a team. Set include_devices to also get, for each person, which phones their minutes went to. Ask for that only when the question is about which phones, because it makes the answer much longer.	analytics.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
get_device_usage	Usage per phoneRead how much each phone was used over a period: active minutes, how many people touched it, and when it was last active. Only covers the phones this connection can reach, so it is the report to use for questions about your own handsets.	analytics.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
get_sessions	Who was on which phoneList individual sessions: one row per person per phone per stretch, saying who was on which handset from when to when, with the gestures they sent. This is the tool for questions about a particular phone or a particular moment - 'who was on X05 this morning', 'what was Cassie doing at 2pm', 'who last touched this phone before it broke'. Newest first; pass the returned next_cursor back as cursor for the next page. Only covers the phones this connection can reach.	analytics.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
get_activity	Recent activityRead when the agency works, as a 7x24 grid of worked minutes by hour of the local week (Monday first). Use this for questions about shift patterns and cover - which hours are busy, which are dead. It says when work happens, not who did it or on which phone: for that, call get_sessions.	analytics.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
list_members	List the teamList the people in this agency with the roles each one holds. Call this to find a member's id before changing their roles. Requires that the connecting account can see the team in the dashboard.	members.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
get_member	Get one memberRead one person in this agency: their username, email, and the roles they hold.	members.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
list_roles	List the rolesList the roles this agency has, what each one allows, how many people hold it, and whether you are allowed to hand it out. Call this before inviting somebody or changing roles, to find the role id and to check assignable is true.	members.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
list_invitations	List invitationsList invitations that have been sent and not yet accepted, with the role each one offers and how far it got. Statuses are sending, sent, opened, clicked, accepted, expired, revoked or failed. An opened status can be a mail client prefetching, so treat clicked and accepted as the reliable ones.	members.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
invite_member	Invite somebody to the agencyInvite an email address to join this agency with a role, and send them the invitation mail. Call list_roles first and pick a role whose assignable is true; you cannot hand out a role above your own standing. The mail goes out immediately and to a real person, so confirm the address and the role before calling this.	members.write	Oui
withdraw_invitation	Withdraw an invitationCancel an invitation that has not been accepted yet, so its link stops working. An invitation that was already accepted cannot be withdrawn; remove that person's roles instead.	members.write	Oui
resend_invitation	Resend an invitationSend an existing pending invitation again, with a fresh link. Use this when somebody says the mail never arrived or the link expired. It sends real mail to a real person, so do not call it repeatedly.	members.write	Oui
set_member_roles	Change a member's rolesReplace the whole set of roles a member holds. This is not a delta: whatever you send becomes their roles, so read list_members first and send the full set you want. An empty list leaves the account able to do nothing, which is how you take somebody's access away without deleting them. You cannot act on somebody who outranks you or hand out a role above your own standing.	members.write	Oui
get_agency	Get the agencyRead this agency's own details: its name, whether it is active, its timezone, how many phones it may hold and how many it holds, how many members it has, and whether two-factor is required. Use this to answer whether there is room for another phone before ordering one.	agency.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
list_groups	List phone groupsList the groups the agency files its phones into, with how many phones are in each. Groups are the agency's own labels; a phone can be in several. Call this to find group ids before filing a phone.	devices.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
set_device_groups	File a phone into groupsSet which groups a phone belongs to. This is not a delta: whatever you send becomes the phone's groups, so read its current ones first and send the full set. Naming a new group creates it. A group nothing is filed into disappears on its own.	groups.write	Oui
list_automations	List automationsList this agency's automations with whether each is published, whether it is turned on, and how its last run went. Call this first to find an automation's id.	automations.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
list_automation_blocks	List the steps an automation can useList every kind of step an automation can be built from, with what it does, what settings it takes and which outputs it has. Call this before writing or changing a flow, so the steps you use exist and are wired by the right outputs.	automations.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
get_automation	Get one automationRead one automation: its published steps, its unpublished draft if there is one, its triggers, and its version history. Use this before changing a flow so you edit what is actually there.	automations.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
create_automation	Create an automationCreate an empty automation with a name. It starts turned off and unpublished, so nothing runs until you add steps with update_automation and then publish it.	automations.write	Oui
update_automation	Change an automationRename an automation, turn it on or off, or save a new draft of its steps. Saving a draft never refuses for a half-built flow: it answers with a list of problems to fix. Nothing you save here runs until you publish it.	automations.write	Oui
publish_automation	Publish an automationMake the current draft the version that runs. This is the step that checks the whole flow and refuses if anything is wrong, so a broken automation can never end up on a schedule. Runs already in progress keep the version they started with.	automations.write	Oui
run_automation	Run an automation nowStart a run immediately. It runs with your access, so it reaches the phones you reach. It does not finish while you wait: poll get_automation_run to see how it went.	automations.write	Oui
list_automation_runs	List runsList recent runs, newest first, with how each one ended. Use it to answer whether last night worked.	automations.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
get_automation_run	Get one run, step by stepRead one run and every step it took, in order, with which phone each step acted on and why any step was skipped or failed. This is the tool to use when asked why an automation did not do what somebody expected.	automations.read	Non, il ne fait que lire
cancel_automation_run	Stop a runStop a run that is still going. It stops at its next step rather than mid-action, so a phone is never left half way through something.	automations.write	Oui
add_automation_trigger	Add a triggerSay when an automation should run: by hand only, on a schedule, or when a phone changes state. A scheduled trigger takes a five-field cron such as `0 2 * * *` for every night at two, read in the agency's timezone unless you name one.	automations.write	Oui
remove_automation_trigger	Remove a triggerStop an automation being started that way. Its other triggers are left alone.	automations.write	Oui
delete_automation	Delete an automationDelete an automation and everything it recorded: its versions, its triggers and its run history. This cannot be undone. To simply stop it running, turn it off with update_automation instead.	automations.write	Oui

Limites

Chaque connexion dépense des crédits pris dans une seule réserve quotidienne, au tarif de ce que fait l'appel : une capture coûte plus qu'une lecture, le streaming encore plus. La réserve est une allocation fixe plus une part par téléphone que la connexion atteint, et se réinitialise à minuit UTC.

Comment nous le circonscrivons

Elle agit au nom de la personne qui l'a autorisée et ne peut pas atteindre un téléphone que cette personne n'atteint pas.
Rattachée à l'agence depuis laquelle elle a été autorisée. Aucun téléphone d'une autre agence, y compris pour le personnel d'ALI.
Elle n'utilise jamais votre session de navigateur : vous déconnecter du tableau de bord ne la dérange pas.
La déconnexion prend effet à l'appel suivant : l'identifiant est supprimé, pas laissé à expiration.
Chaque connexion indique qui l'a autorisée, quand elle a servi pour la dernière fois, et ce qu'elle a consommé aujourd'hui.

Vous préférez écrire le code vous-même ?
