## Authorized automation only

Use automation for authorized testing, QA, support, and internal workflows.


## Workflow

2. Capture screenshot: Use adb screenshot to get the current device state.
3. Send action: Use documented tap, swipe, text, keyevent, shell, or install commands.
4. Validate result: Capture another screenshot and continue the loop only for authorized tasks.

## Supported capabilities

- adb screenshot
- adb tap
- adb swipe
