Unverified: 1 category

A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

MCP tools — 13 exposed · ~1,139 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
capture_data ~198

Capture communication data from a connected device and save to file. Either 'samples' or 'time' must be specified.

NameTypeReqDescription
channelsstringChannels to use (e.g. 'D0,D1,D2')

SCPI driver categories: 'scpi-dmm' (multimeters), 'scpi-pps' (power supplies), or vendor-specific drivers like 'rigol-ds' (oscilloscopes). Example: driver='scpi-dmm', conn='/dev/ttyUSB0:serialcomm=115200/8n1'.

NameTypeReqDescription

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
