- Use `GET /displays` before operating on multi-monitor systems.
- Use `?screen=X` on `/screen`, `/zoom`, `/ocr`, `/action`, and `/batch`; invalid values fall back to `screen=0`.
- Treat returned `region` and OCR bounding boxes as global desktop coordinates, not screen-local coordinates.
- Do not assume `screen=1` starts at `(0,0)`; it may start at `(1920,0)`, `(-1920,0)`, or another global offset.
- If a screenshot came from `/screen?screen=1`, keep using that response's `region` metadata when forming later `/action` targets.

## `POST /action` request shape (important)
`/action` always expects an `action` plus an optional `target` object.
Do **not** invent top-level `x` / `y` fields.
Minimal pixel click:
```json
{
"action": "click",
"target": {"mode": "pixel", "x": 100, "y": 200},
"button": "left",
"clicks": 1
}
```
Minimal grid click:
```json
{
"action": "click",
"target": {
"mode": "grid",
"region_x": 0,
"region_y": 0,
"region_width": 1920,
"region_height": 1080,
"rows": 12,
"cols": 12,
"row": 6,
"col": 8,
"dx": 0.0,
"dy": 0.0
}
}
```
Other canonical examples:
```json
{"action": "move", "target": {"mode": "pixel", "x": 100, "y": 200}}
{"action": "double_click", "target": {"mode": "pixel", "x": 100, "y": 200}}
{"action": "right_click", "target": {"mode": "pixel", "x": 100, "y": 200}}
{"action": "scroll", "target": {"mode": "pixel", "x": 100, "y": 200}, "scroll_amount": -500}
{"action": "type", "text": "hello world", "interval_ms": 20}
{"action": "hotkey", "keys": ["ctrl", "l"]}
```
Rules:
- `dx` / `dy` belong inside `target`, not beside it.
- `type` and `hotkey` usually do not need a `target`.
- For pixel targets, `x` / `y` are global desktop coordinates.
- For grid targets, copy the exact `region_*`, `rows`, and `cols` basis from the screenshot/zoom you actually used.
## When to use `/exec`
Prefer structured GUI control first:
- `/screen`, `/zoom`, `/ocr` to observe
- `/action` or `/batch` to interact
Use `/exec` only when it is the cleanest available tool for the job, for example:
- launching an app that is not already visible
- querying machine state that the GUI does not expose well
- performing an explicit user-requested shell/system task
- recovering from a blocked GUI flow when normal interaction failed
Avoid using `/exec` for routine in-app clicks, menu navigation, or text entry when the GUI can be driven directly.
## Core workflow (mandatory)
1. Call `GET /screen?screen=0` with coarse grid (e.g., 12x12), or another selected display.

## Verify-before-click rules
- Never click if target identity is ambiguous.
- Require at least two matching signals before click (example: OCR text + expected UI region).
- Require at least two matching signals before click.
- Good signal pairs include:
- OCR text + expected UI region
- OCR text + matching button shape/icon nearby
- dialog title text + expected button position within that dialog
- known app/window focus + expected control location
- If confidence is low, do not "test click"; zoom and re-localize first.
- For high-impact actions (close/delete/send/purchase), use two-phase flow:
1) preview intended coordinate + reason

- Prefer short, reversible actions over long macros.
- If two retries fail, switch strategy (hotkey/window focus/search) instead of repeating the same click.
## Fallback ladder for uncertain targeting
1. Full-screen capture with a coarse grid.
2. Zoom into the candidate area with a denser grid.
3. OCR the full screen or the tighter region.
4. Re-anchor on a more reliable nearby control, title, or label.
5. Try a keyboard-first flow if the app supports it.
6. Use `/exec` only if GUI control is blocked and shell-level intervention is genuinely cleaner.
Do not skip from "uncertain click" straight to random retries.
## App-specific playbooks (recommended)
Build per-app routines for repetitive tasks instead of generic clicking.
