Live App Bridge
Ansight Studio MCP tools for discovering and invoking live app-defined tools, capturing live app evidence, and pushing files into a paired app sandbox.
Use these Ansight Studio-owned MCP tools when an agent needs to work against a live paired app instead of a saved capture. Ansight Studio proxies these operations through the active Ansight session bridge.
These tool names are the MCP tools/call names exposed by Ansight Studio.
| Tool | Capability |
|---|---|
ansight_list_app_tools | Query a live paired app for every remotely available Ansight tool, including the current guard policy and schemas. |
ansight_call_app_tool | Proxy a tool invocation into a live paired app over the Ansight session bridge. |
ansight_push_file_to_app | Read a host-local file and push it into a folder inside a live paired app sandbox through the app’s files.push_file tool. |
ansight_take_screenshot | Capture a live screenshot from a connected app through its ui.get_screenshot remote tool. |
ansight_get_live_visual_tree | Capture a live visual-tree snapshot from a connected app, preferring MAUI visual-tree data when available. |
Typical Use
Use ansight_list_app_tools first to discover the live app’s SDK-exposed tools and current guard policy. Then use ansight_call_app_tool for app-defined operations. The screenshot, visual-tree, and file-push helpers provide common live workflows without requiring an agent to know the underlying app tool names.
Remote app tools are not fixed Ansight Studio built-ins. They depend on the SDK packages and custom tools registered inside the paired app.
