Search UI elements by label or identifier (semantic search)
AI agents call idb_find_element to retrieve information from Xclaude Plugin without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs semantic search to locate UI elements by their properties (label, identifier). It is a read-only operation that returns matching elements for inspection or reference by other tools. There are no side effects, state changes, or external command execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'idb_find_element' and description 'Search UI elements by label or identifier (semantic search)' indicate a query operation that retrieves information about UI elements without modifying or executing actions.
