# ScreenshotTools - MCP Client Guide

## Purpose
Reliable screenshot capture for documentation, debugging, and visual analysis. Uses maintained PIL.ImageGrab instead of abandoned pyautogui.

## Available Tools (3 total)

**`screenshot_take_screenshot`** - Capture full screen or region
**`screenshot_capture_clipboard`** - Get image from clipboard
**`screenshot_get_screen_info`** - Display dimensions

## Security: SAFE
All tools are read-only. No system modification capabilities. Always visible in all security modes.

## Key Parameters
- `bbox`: [left, top, right, bottom] for region capture
- `format`: PNG (default), JPEG, WEBP
- `return_base64`: For web integration
- `save_path`: File output location

## Platform Notes
- **Linux clipboard**: Requires `xclip` or `wl-paste` packages
- **Headless systems**: Screenshots unavailable (graceful error)
- **Permissions**: May need screen recording access on some systems

## Migration from AutomationTools
Previous destructive automation (keyboard/mouse/dialogs) removed for security. Only safe screenshot operations retained.
