Working browser surface: Tools — overview — 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.

Bounded contract

Proposal-only contract for bounded Apple platform discovery, native capability qualification, and implementation guidance across authorized Apple files. The catalog record identifies related jobs and ownership, but does not prove implementation, API availability, entitlements, credentials, deployment, or submission authority.

Owners

• Tim
• Apple platform specialist

Inputs

• Apple platform target such as iOS 27, iPadOS 27, or macOS 27
• Requested product capability or implementation question
• Authorized Apple files and explicitly permitted scope
• Current project constraints supplied by the requesting agent
• Required native integration area such as SwiftUI, App Intents, Spotlight, or cross-device behavior

Outputs

• Proposal-only framework or capability assessment
• Candidate native implementation approach within authorized scope
• Platform and device-family considerations
• Qualification checklist for APIs, entitlements, credentials, and submission gates
• Explicit unknowns, dependencies, and approval points

Required or proposed record references

The list defines expected records; it does not assert that any record instance exists.

• Request scope and target Apple platforms
• Authorized file boundary
• Capability or API assumptions requiring verification
• Entitlement requirements, if any
• Store submission implications, if any
• Production credential dependencies, if any
• Approval record before implementation, publication, or submission
• Source reference: agents/index.html#tim

• /docs/apple-frameworks/qualification: API, entitlement, credential, and submission checks
• /docs/apple-frameworks/workflows: platform discovery and native implementation workflow
• /docs/apple-frameworks/failure-states: unavailable APIs, scope conflicts, and approval holds
• /docs/apple-frameworks/platform-discovery: Document how to identify target Apple platforms, OS versions, authorized files, and unresolved capability questions.
• /docs/apple-frameworks/swift-swiftui: Provide proposal-only implementation boundaries for Swift and SwiftUI work, including evidence and approval requirements.
• /docs/apple-frameworks/app-intents-spotlight: Explain how App Intents and Spotlight requests are scoped and qualified without claiming API availability.
• /docs/apple-frameworks/cross-device: Map cross-device product-family considerations and identify platform-specific evidence still required.
• /docs/apple-frameworks/gates: Describe entitlement, production credential, store submission, and authorized-scope gates.
• /docs/tools/apple-frameworks/overview — source identity, owner, scope, and proposal-only status; distinguishes observed catalog presence from proven implementation.
• /docs/tools/apple-frameworks/platform-discovery — platform/version intake, capability mapping, API evidence requirements, and unavailable-API hold rules.
• /docs/tools/apple-frameworks/swift-swiftui — documentation qualification for Swift and SwiftUI implementation claims, including scope and evidence gaps.
• /docs/tools/apple-frameworks/app-intents-spotlight — separate App Intents and Spotlight qualification checklist; no claim of availability without platform/version evidence.
• /docs/tools/apple-frameworks/cross-device-families — device-family compatibility matrix and unresolved integration assumptions.
• /docs/tools/apple-frameworks/native-capability-qualification — deterministic capability, API, entitlement, and deployment gate results.

• /docs/tools/apple-frameworks/abuse-and-safety — misuse cases for intents, Spotlight exposure, deep links, automation, permissions, and cross-device actions.
• /docs/tools/apple-frameworks/source-and-authority — source citation, authorized-file boundary, approval, entitlement, credential, and store-submission controls.
• /docs/tools/apple-frameworks/holds — unresolved API, entitlement, credential, approval, scope, or source findings with deterministic release criteria.
