"""Entry point for the `computer_use` tool.
Universal (any-model) desktop control across macOS, Windows, and Linux via
cua-driver's background computer-use primitive. Replaces #4562's
Anthropic-native `computer_20251124` approach the schema here is standard
OpenAI function-calling so every tool-capable model can drive it.
Linux is the most recent runtime (X11 + Wayland, via cua-driver-rs's
AT-SPI tree path); it is enabled here alongside macOS and Windows. When a
host's display server or accessibility stack isn't reachable, cua-driver's
`health_report` (surfaced by `hermes computer-use doctor`) reports the
exact blocked check rather than the toolset silently failing.

Return contract
---------------
For text-only results (wait, key, list_apps, focus_app, failures, etc.):
JSON string.
For captures / actions with `capture_after=True`:
A dict wrapped as the OpenAI-style multi-part tool-message content:
{
"_multimodal": True,
"content": [
{"type": "text", "text": "<human-readable summary + SOM index>"},
{"type": "image_url",
"image_url": {"url": "data:image/png;base64,<b64>"}},
],
"text_summary": "<text used for fallback string content>",
}
run_agent.py's tool-message builder inspects `_multimodal` and emits a
list-shaped `content` for OpenAI-compatible providers. The Anthropic
adapter splices the base64 image into a `tool_result` block (see
`agent/anthropic_adapter.py`). Every provider that supports multi-part
tool content gets the image; text-only providers see the summary only.

feat(computer-use): background focus-safe backend — set_value, structured windows, MIME detection Extends the cua-driver computer-use backend to drive backgrounded macOS windows without stealing keyboard or mouse focus from the foreground app. All changes target the cua-driver MCP backend and the shared dispatcher. ## cua_backend.py **Window-aware capture**: capture() now calls list_windows + get_window_state instead of the removed capture tool. Prefers structuredContent.windows (MCP 2024-11-05+ cua-driver) for zero-parse window enumeration; falls back to regex-parsed text for older builds. Stores the selected (pid, window_id) as sticky context so subsequent action calls do not need a redundant round-trip. **Action routing**: click/scroll/type_text/key all carry the sticky pid (and window_id for element-indexed clicks). type_text routes through type_text_chars (individual key events) rather than AX attribute write -- WebKit AXTextFields reject attribute writes from backgrounded processes. **Key parsing**: _parse_key_combo splits cmd+s-style strings into (key, [modifiers]) and routes to hotkey (modifier present) or press_key (bare key) -- cua-driver actual tool names. **set_value method**: new set_value(value, element) calls the cua-driver set_value MCP tool. For AXPopUpButton / HTML select in a backgrounded Safari, AXPress opens the native macOS popup which closes immediately when the app is non-frontmost; set_value AX-presses the matching child option directly (no menu required, no focus steal). **focus_app**: reimplemented as a pure window-selector (enumerates list_windows, sets sticky pid/window_id) without ever raising the window or stealing focus. **list_apps**: fixed tool name from listApps to list_apps; handles plain-text response via regex when structured data is absent. **Structured-content extraction**: _extract_tool_result now surfaces structuredContent from MCP results, enabling the list_windows window array without text parsing. **Helpers**: _parse_windows_from_text, _parse_elements_from_tree, _split_tree_text, _parse_key_combo extracted as module-level functions. ## schema.py Added set_value to the action enum with a description explaining when to prefer it over click (select/popup elements, sliders, no focus steal). Added value field for set_value payloads. ## tool.py Routed set_value action through _dispatch to backend.set_value. Added set_value to _DESTRUCTIVE_ACTIONS (approval-gated). Fixed MIME-type detection in _capture_response: cua-driver may return JPEG; detect from base64 magic bytes (/9j/ -> image/jpeg, else image/png) rather than hardcoding image/png. ## agent/display.py + run_agent.py Guard _detect_tool_failure and result-preview logic against non-string function_result values: multimodal tool results (dicts with _multimodal=True) are not string-sliceable; treat them as successes and fall back to str() for length/preview.

feat(computer-use): background focus-safe backend — set_value, structured windows, MIME detection Extends the cua-driver computer-use backend to drive backgrounded macOS windows without stealing keyboard or mouse focus from the foreground app. All changes target the cua-driver MCP backend and the shared dispatcher. ## cua_backend.py **Window-aware capture**: capture() now calls list_windows + get_window_state instead of the removed capture tool. Prefers structuredContent.windows (MCP 2024-11-05+ cua-driver) for zero-parse window enumeration; falls back to regex-parsed text for older builds. Stores the selected (pid, window_id) as sticky context so subsequent action calls do not need a redundant round-trip. **Action routing**: click/scroll/type_text/key all carry the sticky pid (and window_id for element-indexed clicks). type_text routes through type_text_chars (individual key events) rather than AX attribute write -- WebKit AXTextFields reject attribute writes from backgrounded processes. **Key parsing**: _parse_key_combo splits cmd+s-style strings into (key, [modifiers]) and routes to hotkey (modifier present) or press_key (bare key) -- cua-driver actual tool names. **set_value method**: new set_value(value, element) calls the cua-driver set_value MCP tool. For AXPopUpButton / HTML select in a backgrounded Safari, AXPress opens the native macOS popup which closes immediately when the app is non-frontmost; set_value AX-presses the matching child option directly (no menu required, no focus steal). **focus_app**: reimplemented as a pure window-selector (enumerates list_windows, sets sticky pid/window_id) without ever raising the window or stealing focus. **list_apps**: fixed tool name from listApps to list_apps; handles plain-text response via regex when structured data is absent. **Structured-content extraction**: _extract_tool_result now surfaces structuredContent from MCP results, enabling the list_windows window array without text parsing. **Helpers**: _parse_windows_from_text, _parse_elements_from_tree, _split_tree_text, _parse_key_combo extracted as module-level functions. ## schema.py Added set_value to the action enum with a description explaining when to prefer it over click (select/popup elements, sliders, no focus steal). Added value field for set_value payloads. ## tool.py Routed set_value action through _dispatch to backend.set_value. Added set_value to _DESTRUCTIVE_ACTIONS (approval-gated). Fixed MIME-type detection in _capture_response: cua-driver may return JPEG; detect from base64 magic bytes (/9j/ -> image/jpeg, else image/png) rather than hardcoding image/png. ## agent/display.py + run_agent.py Guard _detect_tool_failure and result-preview logic against non-string function_result values: multimodal tool results (dicts with _multimodal=True) are not string-sliceable; treat them as successes and fall back to str() for length/preview.

The truncation note ("response truncated to N of M elements") was appended unconditionally — including in the som/vision multimodal path, whose response carries a screenshot rather than an `elements` array. The note described a payload field that wasn't present. Moved the note into the AX-text branch where the array actually appears. 2. `_format_elements(cap.elements)` ran on the full untrimmed list with its own `max_lines=40` cap, so a caller passing `max_elements=10` would see summary lines referencing `#11..#40` even though the JSON `elements` array only held #1..#10. Format on `visible_elements` instead so the summary indices always exist in the response. 3. `_coerce_max_elements` enforced a lower bound but no upper bound, so `max_elements=10_000_000` silently disabled the safeguard and reintroduced the original context-blow-up. Added a hard cap (`_MAX_ALLOWED_MAX_ELEMENTS = 1000`) that clamps oversized values. 4. The schema string said "Default 100" but the property carried no `default` field, and claimed `max_elements` had no effect on som/ vision while the image-missing fallback path can still return an elements array.

fix(computer-use): address Copilot review on max_elements cap Four findings from Copilot's review on PR #22891, all in the AX elements-array cap added by 22fa1ed: 1. The truncation note ("response truncated to N of M elements") was appended unconditionally — including in the som/vision multimodal path, whose response carries a screenshot rather than an `elements` array. The note described a payload field that wasn't present. Moved the note into the AX-text branch where the array actually appears. 2. `_format_elements(cap.elements)` ran on the full untrimmed list with its own `max_lines=40` cap, so a caller passing `max_elements=10` would see summary lines referencing `#11..#40` even though the JSON `elements` array only held #1..#10. Format on `visible_elements` instead so the summary indices always exist in the response. 3. `_coerce_max_elements` enforced a lower bound but no upper bound, so `max_elements=10_000_000` silently disabled the safeguard and reintroduced the original context-blow-up. Added a hard cap (`_MAX_ALLOWED_MAX_ELEMENTS = 1000`) that clamps oversized values. 4. The schema string said "Default 100" but the property carried no `default` field, and claimed `max_elements` had no effect on som/ vision while the image-missing fallback path can still return an elements array. Added `"default": 100`, `"maximum": 1000`, and clarified the fallback-path wording. Each finding gets a regression test: - test_capture_ax_clamps_oversized_max_elements_to_hard_cap - test_capture_ax_summary_indices_match_returned_elements - test_capture_multimodal_summary_omits_truncation_note - test_schema_max_elements_documents_default_and_upper_bound Verified with `pytest tests/tools/test_computer_use.py` (53 passed, including the 5 new cases).

fix(computer_use): route SOM/vision captures via auxiliary.vision (#24015) When the active main model has no vision capability — or when the user explicitly configured auxiliary.vision in config.yaml — sending the captured screenshot back to the main model in a multimodal tool-result envelope is the wrong move: it trips HTTP 404 / 400 at the provider boundary (e.g. 'No endpoints found that support image input') and the agent loop reports a hard tool failure for what should have been a simple capture. The reporter on #24015 hit this with: model: default: tencent/hy3-preview # no vision support provider: openrouter auxiliary: vision: provider: openrouter model: google/gemini-2.5-flash # explicitly configured …and observed: computer_use(action='capture', mode='som') → ⚠️ API call failed (attempt1/3): NotFoundError [HTTP 404] 🔌 Provider: openrouter Model: tencent/hy3-preview 📝 Error: HTTP 404: No endpoints found that support image input Fix: in tools/computer_use/tool.py::_capture_response, after a screenshot is captured (modes 'som' / 'vision'), consult the routing helper introduced earlier in this branch. When it says 'route to aux', materialise the PNG to $HERMES_HOME/cache/vision/, run vision_analyze on it (which honours auxiliary.vision via the standard async_call_llm task='vision' router), and return a text-only JSON tool result that embeds the analysis alongside the existing AX/SOM index. The main model never sees the pixels — it sees an actionable text description plus the same set-of-mark element index it normally uses. The two new helpers (_should_route_through_aux_vision, _route_capture_through_aux_vision) keep the policy and the IO separated so each can be tested in isolation. Both fail open: if the config import fails, if the aux call raises, or if the analysis is empty, we fall back to the existing multimodal envelope so the behaviour is at worst the pre-fix status quo. Temp screenshot files are cleaned up unconditionally in a finally block — even on aux call failure — to avoid leaving residue under cache/vision/. The end-to-end regression for #24015 is added in the next commit.

feat(computer-use): background focus-safe backend — set_value, structured windows, MIME detection Extends the cua-driver computer-use backend to drive backgrounded macOS windows without stealing keyboard or mouse focus from the foreground app. All changes target the cua-driver MCP backend and the shared dispatcher. ## cua_backend.py **Window-aware capture**: capture() now calls list_windows + get_window_state instead of the removed capture tool. Prefers structuredContent.windows (MCP 2024-11-05+ cua-driver) for zero-parse window enumeration; falls back to regex-parsed text for older builds. Stores the selected (pid, window_id) as sticky context so subsequent action calls do not need a redundant round-trip. **Action routing**: click/scroll/type_text/key all carry the sticky pid (and window_id for element-indexed clicks). type_text routes through type_text_chars (individual key events) rather than AX attribute write -- WebKit AXTextFields reject attribute writes from backgrounded processes. **Key parsing**: _parse_key_combo splits cmd+s-style strings into (key, [modifiers]) and routes to hotkey (modifier present) or press_key (bare key) -- cua-driver actual tool names. **set_value method**: new set_value(value, element) calls the cua-driver set_value MCP tool. For AXPopUpButton / HTML select in a backgrounded Safari, AXPress opens the native macOS popup which closes immediately when the app is non-frontmost; set_value AX-presses the matching child option directly (no menu required, no focus steal). **focus_app**: reimplemented as a pure window-selector (enumerates list_windows, sets sticky pid/window_id) without ever raising the window or stealing focus. **list_apps**: fixed tool name from listApps to list_apps; handles plain-text response via regex when structured data is absent. **Structured-content extraction**: _extract_tool_result now surfaces structuredContent from MCP results, enabling the list_windows window array without text parsing. **Helpers**: _parse_windows_from_text, _parse_elements_from_tree, _split_tree_text, _parse_key_combo extracted as module-level functions. ## schema.py Added set_value to the action enum with a description explaining when to prefer it over click (select/popup elements, sliders, no focus steal). Added value field for set_value payloads. ## tool.py Routed set_value action through _dispatch to backend.set_value. Added set_value to _DESTRUCTIVE_ACTIONS (approval-gated). Fixed MIME-type detection in _capture_response: cua-driver may return JPEG; detect from base64 magic bytes (/9j/ -> image/jpeg, else image/png) rather than hardcoding image/png. ## agent/display.py + run_agent.py Guard _detect_tool_failure and result-preview logic against non-string function_result values: multimodal tool results (dicts with _multimodal=True) are not string-sliceable; treat them as successes and fall back to str() for length/preview.

fix(computer-use): address Copilot review on max_elements cap Four findings from Copilot's review on PR #22891, all in the AX elements-array cap added by 22fa1ed: 1. The truncation note ("response truncated to N of M elements") was appended unconditionally — including in the som/vision multimodal path, whose response carries a screenshot rather than an `elements` array. The note described a payload field that wasn't present. Moved the note into the AX-text branch where the array actually appears. 2. `_format_elements(cap.elements)` ran on the full untrimmed list with its own `max_lines=40` cap, so a caller passing `max_elements=10` would see summary lines referencing `#11..#40` even though the JSON `elements` array only held #1..#10. Format on `visible_elements` instead so the summary indices always exist in the response. 3. `_coerce_max_elements` enforced a lower bound but no upper bound, so `max_elements=10_000_000` silently disabled the safeguard and reintroduced the original context-blow-up. Added a hard cap (`_MAX_ALLOWED_MAX_ELEMENTS = 1000`) that clamps oversized values. 4. The schema string said "Default 100" but the property carried no `default` field, and claimed `max_elements` had no effect on som/ vision while the image-missing fallback path can still return an elements array. Added `"default": 100`, `"maximum": 1000`, and clarified the fallback-path wording. Each finding gets a regression test: - test_capture_ax_clamps_oversized_max_elements_to_hard_cap - test_capture_ax_summary_indices_match_returned_elements - test_capture_multimodal_summary_omits_truncation_note - test_schema_max_elements_documents_default_and_upper_bound Verified with `pytest tests/tools/test_computer_use.py` (53 passed, including the 5 new cases). Confirmed each new test fails on the pre-fix code path before applying the production change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

fix(computer_use): route SOM/vision captures via auxiliary.vision (#24015) When the active main model has no vision capability — or when the user explicitly configured auxiliary.vision in config.yaml — sending the captured screenshot back to the main model in a multimodal tool-result envelope is the wrong move: it trips HTTP 404 / 400 at the provider boundary (e.g. 'No endpoints found that support image input') and the agent loop reports a hard tool failure for what should have been a simple capture. The reporter on #24015 hit this with: model: default: tencent/hy3-preview # no vision support provider: openrouter auxiliary: vision: provider: openrouter model: google/gemini-2.5-flash # explicitly configured …and observed: computer_use(action='capture', mode='som') → ⚠️ API call failed (attempt1/3): NotFoundError [HTTP 404] 🔌 Provider: openrouter Model: tencent/hy3-preview 📝 Error: HTTP 404: No endpoints found that support image input Fix: in tools/computer_use/tool.py::_capture_response, after a screenshot is captured (modes 'som' / 'vision'), consult the routing helper introduced earlier in this branch. When it says 'route to aux', materialise the PNG to $HERMES_HOME/cache/vision/, run vision_analyze on it (which honours auxiliary.vision via the standard async_call_llm task='vision' router), and return a text-only JSON tool result that embeds the analysis alongside the existing AX/SOM index. The main model never sees the pixels — it sees an actionable text description plus the same set-of-mark element index it normally uses. The two new helpers (_should_route_through_aux_vision, _route_capture_through_aux_vision) keep the policy and the IO separated so each can be tested in isolation. Both fail open: if the config import fails, if the aux call raises, or if the analysis is empty, we fall back to the existing multimodal envelope so the behaviour is at worst the pre-fix status quo. Temp screenshot files are cleaned up unconditionally in a finally block — even on aux call failure — to avoid leaving residue under cache/vision/. The end-to-end regression for #24015 is added in the next commit.

fix(computer_use): route SOM/vision captures via auxiliary.vision (#24015) When the active main model has no vision capability — or when the user explicitly configured auxiliary.vision in config.yaml — sending the captured screenshot back to the main model in a multimodal tool-result envelope is the wrong move: it trips HTTP 404 / 400 at the provider boundary (e.g. 'No endpoints found that support image input') and the agent loop reports a hard tool failure for what should have been a simple capture. The reporter on #24015 hit this with: model: default: tencent/hy3-preview # no vision support provider: openrouter auxiliary: vision: provider: openrouter model: google/gemini-2.5-flash # explicitly configured …and observed: computer_use(action='capture', mode='som') → ⚠️ API call failed (attempt1/3): NotFoundError [HTTP 404] 🔌 Provider: openrouter Model: tencent/hy3-preview 📝 Error: HTTP 404: No endpoints found that support image input Fix: in tools/computer_use/tool.py::_capture_response, after a screenshot is captured (modes 'som' / 'vision'), consult the routing helper introduced earlier in this branch. When it says 'route to aux', materialise the PNG to $HERMES_HOME/cache/vision/, run vision_analyze on it (which honours auxiliary.vision via the standard async_call_llm task='vision' router), and return a text-only JSON tool result that embeds the analysis alongside the existing AX/SOM index. The main model never sees the pixels — it sees an actionable text description plus the same set-of-mark element index it normally uses. The two new helpers (_should_route_through_aux_vision, _route_capture_through_aux_vision) keep the policy and the IO separated so each can be tested in isolation. Both fail open: if the config import fails, if the aux call raises, or if the analysis is empty, we fall back to the existing multimodal envelope so the behaviour is at worst the pre-fix status quo. Temp screenshot files are cleaned up unconditionally in a finally block — even on aux call failure — to avoid leaving residue under cache/vision/.

Anthropic adapter converts into native `tool_result` image blocks; OpenAI-compatible providers get the parts list directly. - Image eviction in convert_messages_to_anthropic: only the 3 most recent screenshots carry real image data; older ones become text placeholders to cap per-turn token cost. - Context compressor image pruning: old multimodal tool results have their image parts stripped instead of being skipped. - Image-aware token estimation: each image counts as a flat 1500 tokens instead of its base64 char length (~1MB would have registered as ~250K tokens before). - COMPUTER_USE_GUIDANCE system-prompt block — injected when the toolset is active. - Session DB persistence strips base64 from multimodal tool messages. - Trajectory saver normalises multimodal messages to text-only. - `hermes tools` post-setup installs cua-driver via the upstream script and prints permission-grant instructions. - CLI approval callback wired so destructive computer_use actions go through the same prompt_toolkit approval dialog as terminal commands. - Hard safety guards at the tool level: blocked type patterns (curl|bash, sudo rm -rf, fork bomb), blocked key combos (empty trash, force delete, lock screen, log out). - Skill `apple/macos-computer-use/SKILL.md` — universal (model-agnostic) workflow guide. - Docs: `user-guide/features/computer-use.md` plus reference catalog entries. 44 new tests in tests/tools/test_computer_use.py covering schema shape (universal, not Anthropic-native), dispatch routing, safety guards, multimodal envelope, Anthropic adapter conversion, screenshot eviction, context compressor pruning, image-aware token estimation, run_agent helpers, and universality guarantees. 469/469 pass across tests/tools/test_computer_use.py + the affected agent/ test suites. - `model_tools.py` provider-gating: the tool is available to every provider. Providers without multi-part tool message support will see text-only tool results (graceful degradation via `text_summary`). - Anthropic server-side `clear_tool_uses_20250919` — deferred; client-side eviction + compressor pruning cover the same cost ceiling without a beta header. - macOS only. cua-driver uses private SkyLight SPIs (SLEventPostToPid, SLPSPostEventRecordTo, _AXObserverAddNotificationAndCheckRemote) that can break on any macOS update. Pin with HERMES_CUA_DRIVER_VERSION. - Requires Accessibility + Screen Recording permissions — the post-setup prints the Settings path. Supersedes PR #4562 (pyautogui/Quartz foreground backend, Anthropic- native schema). Credit @0xbyt4 for the original #3816 groundwork whose context/eviction/token design is preserved here in generic form.
