**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.

## Workflow use

- Assess the requested Swift or SwiftUI implementation against authorized Apple files.

- Discover relevant iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 platform capabilities.

- Evaluate App Intents and Spotlight requirements.

- Assess cross-device product family implications.

- Qualify native capabilities before implementation.

- Check whether new entitlements are required.

- Hold store submission and production credential work for approval.

- Keep scope within authorized Apple files.

- Do not claim unavailable APIs.

- Do not publish or submit without approval.

## Lane-specific verified instrument aids

No compatible verified instrument is admitted for the usage lane.

Compatibility here means a bounded proposal aid. It does not verify the tool, its implementation, or an external result.

## Usage boundary

This usage lane is proposal-only. Implementation, connection, qualification, deployment, publication, provider access, credentials, and authority remain unproven and held.

- The tool is observed in the agent catalog, but its implementation is not proven.

- Connection, qualification, deployment, and authority are not proven.

- New entitlements may be required.

- Store submission requires approval.

- Production credentials are not established.

- Scope outside authorized Apple files is prohibited.

- Unavailable APIs must not be claimed.

- Publication or submission without approval is prohibited.

- Race conditions with another writer are prohibited.
