WHAT IT DOES

What bazel_ios_ui_dump does on XcodeBazelMCP

AI agents call bazel_ios_ui_dump to retrieve information from XcodeBazelMCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why bazel_ios_ui_dump is rated Low

This tool performs read-only inspection of simulator UI state. It captures the current visual/accessibility state of a running iOS simulator without making modifications, executing code, or triggering side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only gather information about the simulator's appearance, not alter device state or perform actions.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and queries the current UI state of a booted simulator (appearance, increase contrast) without modifying or executing actions.
