## What it does

The server exposes eleven tools: monitor and window enumeration (`list_displays`, `list_windows`), screen and window capture (`capture_monitor`, `capture_window`), OCR (`read_text_from_monitor`, `read_text_from_window`), capture search (`search_captures`, `get_capture`), and recording (`start_recording`, `stop_recording`, `get_recording_status`). Each capture is saved as PNG with SHA-256, monitor geometry and DPI. Recording needs `ffmpeg.exe` in `PATH`.

Optional `desktop_*` tools automate UI tests: they launch an approved app, click controls, type text, and verify the interface, then write a signed report. Set them up with `pointframe verify setup` or a policy file for a specific app. The CLI and MCP server are standalone and need neither .NET nor the Pointframe desktop app.
