**Working browser surface:** [Tools — overview](<https://guthlabs.ai/labs.html#tools>) — Inspect the tool contract, usage, boundaries, and proposed qualification checks. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

## Hazards and failure states

- The observed catalog entry does not prove implementation, connection, qualification, deployment, or authority.

- Apple platform names and field guides are supplied context, not evidence that a specific API or behavior is available.

- New entitlements require approval and must not be assumed.

- Store submission and production credentials are outside the tool's unilateral authority.

- Scope outside authorized Apple files is excluded.

- Concurrent writing or racing another writer is prohibited.

- Unverified Spotlight, cross-device, Liquid Glass, or platform-version behavior must remain a qualification question.

- Failure to identify an unresolved dependency may create unsupported implementation or release claims.

## Claims potentially allowed after source review

- This is a proposed contract for App Intents work.

- Tim is the listed owner and Apple platform specialist.

- The supplied jobs and field guides define relevant planning contexts.

- Entitlements, store submission, production credentials, and out-of-scope Apple files are principal gates.

- API availability and implementation readiness require qualification.

## Claims held

- That App Intents is implemented or connected.

- That any specific Apple API is available for the requested target.

- That iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, or Liquid Glass behavior is confirmed for the requested capability.

- That Spotlight or cross-device behavior is deployed or supported.

- That native capability qualification has passed.

- That entitlements, production credentials, or store submission authority exists.

- That any work has been published, submitted, or released.

- That this contract authorizes changes outside the authorized Apple files.

## Source gates and never-rules

- Store submission

- Production credentials

- Scope outside authorized Apple files

- Race another writer
