A macOS connection to Apple personal data through iMCP, including Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Messages, Location, Maps, and Weather. Messages means iMessage or SMS, not email.

Finding calendar events, contacts, reminders, messages, location, map information, or weather from a pi session on macOS.

It gives an agent a defined way to access supported Apple data while respecting macOS permissions, and avoids treating Apple Mail as supported.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00092	$0.00764
Opus 5.5	$0.00037	$0.00306
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00153
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00076

Security

Grade A, and why

apple-tools scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 21d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

apple-tools (iMCP)

Access Apple personal-information-management data on macOS through iMCP, a menu-bar app that brokers the OS permission grants, reached over MCP by pi's built-in MCP (pi ≥ 1.0.0).

Reachable services (seven)

Calendar · Contacts · Location · Maps · Messages · Reminders · Weather

Messages here means iMessage / SMS — it is NOT email.
There is no Mail service. iMCP exposes no Apple Mail access.

Mail is out of scope — redirect

If the user asks to read, search, or summarize Apple Mail / email:

iMCP exposes no Mail service; do not attempt an iMCP/adapter tool call for Mail.
Use the apple-mail-fast-export skill instead — it exports .eml files directly from the on-disk Apple Mail store.

"Messages" satisfying an email request is a category error: Messages is iMessage/SMS only.

Access pattern — search then invoke via built-in MCP

The agent reaches iMCP tools through pi's built-in MCP, not by spawning the server. Do not run imcp-server directly. Tools appear as mcp__iMCP__* (through codemode, or tool_search when the entry's exposure is deferred). Search the available tools, then invoke.

Provisioning check (run at load)

This skill runs the installer's --check traversal on load (one sw_vers plus a few stat calls; short-circuits instantly on non-macOS). If iMCP is not provisioned it reports the gap and names the fix:

pi-apple-tools-install

Terminal states mirror the CLI and the dashboard panel: UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM, OS_VERSION_UNKNOWN, OS_TOO_OLD, NO_INSTALL_METHOD, INSTALL_FAILED, CONFIG_UNPARSEABLE, CONFIG_WRITE_FAILED, READY_PENDING_GRANTS.

READY is NOT one of them. It is a live-access result — reachable only by a successful tool round-trip through pi's built-in MCP, never by the provisioning traversal, which cannot know whether the TCC grants were given.

If the state is anything other than READY_PENDING_GRANTS, do NOT attempt Apple-data tool calls — report the gap and the pi-apple-tools-install command first.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

apple-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository BlackBeltTechnology/pi-agent-dashboard (331 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 764 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

starfleet-timer

Set timers instead of blocking a session with sleep/watch-loops (e.g. waiting for a GitHub Actions run): the timer fires a comms directive into the fleet at the scheduled time, and the poller injects it into the owning ship's next turn — no background process, no blocking, survives a session restart.
