Tool Map

Default Automation Policy

• Set request_if_missing=true when permissions may be missing.
• Set open_settings_if_failed=true for automatic recovery.
• Set wait_user_confirmation=true only when the app cannot complete the system step itself.
• Avoid pre-confirmation for normal operations.

Location Playbook

1. Call device_status(action="location", provider="auto", prefer_fine=true).
2. If no fix, retry with provider="network".
3. If location service is disabled, allow settings handoff and continue.
4. If still unavailable, return recoverable error with next step.
