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.

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 | $0.00051 | $0.00232 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00116 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00046 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
argent-ios-simulator-setup 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 yesterday.
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.
What it actually says
1. Setup Steps
If you delegate simulator tasks to sub-agents, make sure they have MCP permissions.
-
Find a booted simulator Use
list-devices. Filter for entries withplatform: "ios"and skip any withkind: "device"(a physical iPhone, never a simulator target): booted simulators are listed first. If none are booted, callboot-devicewithudid: <chosen UDID>. -
Verify connection All interaction tools (
gesture-tap,gesture-swipe,gesture-custom, etc.) auto-start the server if not already running.
2. Notes
- UDIDs look like:
A1B2C3D4-E5F6-7890-ABCD-EF1234567890
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-simulator-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository software-mansion/argent (2,378 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 232 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
