Devices & Peripherals

USB, Bluetooth, AirDrop, Continuity, and your iPhone on the network.

8 tools — 6 read-only, 2 that always ask your approval first.

Read-only tools never modify anything; anything that changes your Mac pauses on an Approve card first.

8 shown

list_usb_devices Read-only

List the USB devices currently attached to this Mac.

check_bluetooth_devices Read-only

List Bluetooth devices paired with this Mac, split into currently-connected vs paired-but-not-connected (iPhones, AirPods, keyboards, mice…).

list_paired_devices Read-only

List the devices paired/trusted with this Mac over Bluetooth — the trust that enables Continuity/Handoff with an iPhone or iPad.

forget_device Asks first

Remove a device from the known-device baseline (the undo of mark_device_known) so future LAN scans flag it as new again.

check_airdrop_settings Read-only

Report this Mac's AirDrop discoverability (Off / Contacts Only / Everyone). 'Everyone' lets any nearby device try to send files.

check_continuity Read-only

Report whether Handoff/Continuity (and the Universal Clipboard) is enabled — the feature that shares activities and clipboard with your nearby Apple devices on the same iCloud account.

identify_phone_on_network Read-only

From the already-scanned LAN device roster, pick out the likely phones/mobiles (by vendor, hostname, or randomized private Wi-Fi MAC).

set_airdrop_mode Asks first

Set this Mac's AirDrop discoverability: off (not discoverable), contacts (only your contacts), or everyone (any nearby device — only for a moment when you need it). The fix for the AirDrop check showing Everyone. No admin needed.
