What
When Claude is driving individual Mac apps, it can now list installed and running applications to find the right identifier before asking for access. Parameters are query, running_first (default true), limit (default 25, maximum 200) and an opaque cursor for paging.
Details
Declared as having no side effects and callable before any app has been granted.
Offered only when the host is app-scoped and the platform is macOS; on other platforms the call path answers list_apps is not available on this platform.
Evidence
list_apps is not available on this platform.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
