f seq-rpc

Native seqd RPC bridge for Flow.

Use this when an agent/workflow needs OS-level actions and you want a typed, low-overhead path. This command talks to seqd over Unix socket directly from Rust (no seq rpc subprocess).

Why this command exists

  • Keeps protocol handling in Rust.
  • Avoids shell output parsing drift.
  • Gives stable response envelope fields (ok, op, dur_us, ids).
  • Matches hard policy in docs/seq-agent-rpc-contract.md.

Usage

bash
f seq-rpc [--socket PATH] [--timeout-ms 5000] [--pretty] <action> ...

Actions:

  • ping
  • app-state
  • perf
  • open-app <name>
  • open-app-toggle <name>
  • screenshot <path>
  • rpc <op> [--args-json '{...}']

Common id fields (recommended on every call):

  • --request-id
  • --run-id
  • --tool-call-id

Example:

bash
f seq-rpc open-app "Safari" \
  --request-id req-42 \
  --run-id run-a12 \
  --tool-call-id tool-7 \
  --pretty

Socket resolution

  1. --socket <path>
  2. SEQ_SOCKET_PATH
  3. SEQD_SOCKET
  4. /tmp/seqd.sock

Output

Prints JSON response envelope from seqd.

On ok=false, command exits non-zero after printing the response JSON.
