Argent is a toolkit that lets an AI assistant control and inspect iOS, Android, TV, Electron, and Chromium applications through simulators, emulators, physical devices, or desktop connections. It is for developers who want an agent to interact with interfaces, reproduce issues, test features, debug applications, or run profiling tasks. The catalogue add-ons expose Argent's device-control and development workflows to coding agents.
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.

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 | $0.00059 | $0.00569 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00228 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00114 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00057 |
Grade A, and why
argent-ios-device-interact 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 6d 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 — 21 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Physical iPhone interaction
Read this only for a physical iPhone. argent-device-interact still applies for everything not listed here.

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.

argent-ios-device-interact is a skill published in the GitHub repository software-mansion/argent (3,164 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 569 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
