You can automate macOS GUI tasks in the background using a tool-capable model and the computer_use tool. This skill executes actions like capture, click, type, drag, and scroll without stealing your cursor, keyboard focus, or active Space.

Background macOS automation works with any tool-capable model, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. It operates whenever the computer_use tool is available, ensuring model-agnostic compatibility.

Yes, you need to grant macOS Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions to run background desktop automation. These permissions allow the computer_use tool to capture screens and simulate mouse and keyboard actions safely.

When automating macOS apps without taking over the screen, you can perform actions such as screen capture, mouse clicks, keyboard typing, dragging, and scrolling. The tool first captures the target app to enumerate interactable elements.

Yes, background automation enforces safety rules to avoid interacting with sensitive dialogs without explicit user consent. This safety-first mechanism prevents the model from clicking through critical system prompts or security warnings automatically.
