name: argent-ios-simulator-setup description: Set up and connect to an iOS simulator using argent MCP tools. Use when starting a new session, booting an iOS simulator, getting an iOS UDID, or before any iOS simulator interaction task.
1. Setup Steps
If you delegate simulator tasks to sub-agents, make sure they have MCP permissions.
-
Find a booted simulator Use
list-devices. Filter for entries withplatform: "ios"— booted iPhones are listed first. If none are booted, callboot-devicewithudid: <chosen UDID>. -
Verify connection All interaction tools (
gesture-tap,gesture-swipe,gesture-custom, etc.) auto-start the server if not already running.
2. Notes
- UDIDs look like:
A1B2C3D4-E5F6-7890-ABCD-EF1234567890

argent-metro-debugger
Debug a JS runtime via CDP using argent debugger tools. Primary path is React Native via Metro (iOS / Android); a subset of the tools (debugger-connect, debugger-status, debugger-evaluate, debugger-log-registry) also drive a Chromium (CDP) app's renderer (an Electron app, or any Chromium browser exposing CDP) through the same surface. Use when connecting to the runtime, inspecting React components, reading console logs, or evaluating JavaScript.
