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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
delete_source Delete WidgetDash source ~71
Permanently delete a data source (and its data) from the user's WidgetDash iPhone widgets. Ends any Live Activity for it. Only do this when the user asks to remove it. Requires WIDGETDASH_WRITE_KEY.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| source_key | string | yes | The source_key to delete (see list_sources). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_widget_data Read iPhone widget data ~85
Read what is currently shown on the user's WidgetDash iPhone widgets: every enabled source with its metrics and last update time, or one source if source_key is given. Uses WIDGETDASH_READ_KEY, or the write key if no read key is set.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| source_key | string | – | Only return this source. Omit to return all sources shown on the widget. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_sources List WidgetDash sources ~66
List the data sources on the user's WidgetDash iPhone widgets (source_key, title, icon, enabled/hidden) plus the plan's source usage (the free plan allows 5 sources). Uses WIDGETDASH_READ_KEY, or the write key if no read key is set.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
push_metrics Push metrics to iPhone widget ~391
Create or update a WidgetDash data source shown on the user's iPhone Home Screen / Lock Screen widgets and Live Activities. Sets the source's title, SF Symbol icon, category and its full list of metrics (label + value + type + color). The metrics list REPLACES the source's current metrics; use push_number to change a single value. Omitted display_name/icon/category keep their current values; sort_order only applies when the source is created. Requires WIDGETDASH_WRITE_KEY.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Free-form grouping, e.g. 'finance', 'monitoring', 'fitness'. If omitted, keeps the existing category (default 'general'). |
| display_name | string | – | Title shown on the widget, e.g. 'Stripe'. If omitted, keeps the existing name (or derives one from source_key for new sources). |
| icon | string | – | SF Symbol name shown next to the title, e.g. 'dollarsign.circle.fill', 'chart.bar.fill', 'server.rack', 'heart.fill', 'cart.fill'. If omitted, keeps the existing icon (default 'circle.fill'). |
| metrics | array | yes | Metrics to show, in display order. Small widgets show the first few, so put the most important first. |
| raw_data | object | – | Optional arbitrary JSON object stored alongside the metrics (not shown on the widget). If omitted, existing raw_data is kept. |
| sort_order | integer | – | Position for a NEW source among your sources (lower first, default 0). Ignored when updating an existing source: its order is set in the WidgetDash app. |
| source_key | string | yes | Stable identifier for this data source, e.g. 'stripe_mrr' or 'server_health'. Lowercase letters, digits, '_' or '-'. Pushing to an existing key updates it; a new key creates a new widget source. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
push_number Push one number to iPhone widget ~455
Quickest way to put a single number or value on the user's iPhone Home Screen / Lock Screen widget via WidgetDash, e.g. 'Stripe MRR = $12,400' or 'Open tickets = 7'. Sets one metric (matched by label) on a source, keeping the source's other metrics, title and icon; creates the source if it does not exist. Requires WIDGETDASH_WRITE_KEY.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Free-form grouping, e.g. 'finance', 'monitoring', 'fitness'. If omitted, keeps the existing category (default 'general'). |
| color | string | – | Optional accent color (green/red/yellow/blue/gray/orange/purple/cyan); defaults to the existing metric's color. |
| display_name | string | – | Title shown on the widget, e.g. 'Stripe'. If omitted, keeps the existing name (or derives one from source_key for new sources). |
| icon | string | – | SF Symbol name shown next to the title, e.g. 'dollarsign.circle.fill', 'chart.bar.fill', 'server.rack', 'heart.fill', 'cart.fill'. If omitted, keeps the existing icon (default 'circle.fill'). |
| label | string | yes | Short label shown on the widget, e.g. 'MRR' or 'Users online'. |
| sort_order | integer | – | Position for a NEW source among your sources (lower first, default 0). Ignored when updating an existing source: its order is set in the WidgetDash app. |
| source_key | string | yes | Stable identifier for this data source, e.g. 'stripe_mrr' or 'server_health'. Lowercase letters, digits, '_' or '-'. Pushing to an existing key updates it; a new key creates a new widget source. |
| type | string | – | Optional; defaults to the existing metric's type, else inferred from the value. |
| value | – | yes | The value to display, pre-formatted as you want it shown (e.g. '$12,400', '42', 'Healthy'). For 'progress' use 0-100; for 'timestamp' an ISO 8601 time or Unix epoch seconds. |
