fased nodes

Manage paired nodes and invoke node capabilities such as command execution, camera, screen, or image surfaces where available. Browser equivalent: Advanced > Nodes. Nodes are optional device/runtime peripherals, not normal first-run setup. Use Agent > Tools to decide whether a selected Agent may use node-backed tools. Related: Common options:
  • --url, --token, --timeout, --json

Common commands

fased nodes list
fased nodes list --connected
fased nodes list --last-connected 24h
fased nodes pending
fased nodes approve <requestId>
fased nodes reject <requestId>
fased nodes remove --node <id|name|ip>
fased nodes rename --node <id|name|ip> --name "Desk node"
fased nodes status
fased nodes status --connected
fased nodes status --last-connected 24h
fased nodes describe --node <id|name|ip>
fased nodes camera list --node <id|name|ip>
fased nodes camera snap --node <id|name|ip>
fased nodes screen record --node <id|name|ip> --duration 10s
fased nodes canvas snapshot --node <id|name|ip>
fased nodes location get --node <id|name|ip>
nodes list prints pending/paired tables. Paired rows include the most recent connect age (Last Connect). Use --connected to only show currently-connected nodes. Use --last-connected <duration> to filter to nodes that connected within a duration (e.g. 24h, 7d). Pairing commands are top-level under fased nodes: pending, approve, reject, remove, and rename.

Invoke / run

fased nodes invoke --node <id|name|ip> --command <command> --params <json>
fased nodes run --node <id|name|ip> <command...>
fased nodes run --raw "git status"
fased nodes run --agent main --node <id|name|ip> --raw "git status"
Invoke flags:
  • --params <json>: JSON object string (default {}).
  • --invoke-timeout <ms>: node invoke timeout (default 15000).
  • --idempotency-key <key>: optional idempotency key.

Exec-style defaults

nodes run mirrors the model’s exec behavior (defaults + approvals):
  • Reads tools.exec.* (plus agents.list[].tools.exec.* overrides).
  • Uses exec approvals (exec.approval.request) before invoking system.run.
  • --node can be omitted when tools.exec.node is set.
  • Requires a node that advertises system.run (macOS companion app or headless node host).
Flags:
  • --cwd <path>: working directory.
  • --env <key=val>: env override (repeatable). Note: node hosts ignore PATH overrides (and tools.exec.pathPrepend is not applied to node hosts).
  • --command-timeout <ms>: command timeout.
  • --invoke-timeout <ms>: node invoke timeout (default 30000).
  • --needs-screen-recording: require screen recording permission.
  • --raw <command>: run a shell string (/bin/sh -lc or cmd.exe /c). In allowlist mode on Windows node hosts, cmd.exe /c shell-wrapper runs require approval (allowlist entry alone does not auto-allow the wrapper form).
  • --agent <id>: agent-scoped approvals/allowlists (defaults to configured agent).
  • --ask <off|on-miss|always>, --security <deny|allowlist|full>: overrides.

Media and device helpers

These commands invoke capabilities advertised by the selected node. Use fased nodes describe --node <id|name|ip> first if you are unsure which commands the node exposes.
fased nodes camera list --node <id|name|ip>
fased nodes camera snap --node <id|name|ip> --facing front
fased nodes camera clip --node <id|name|ip> --duration 10s --no-audio
fased nodes screen record --node <id|name|ip> --duration 10s --fps 10
fased nodes canvas present --node <id|name|ip> --target https://example.com
fased nodes canvas snapshot --node <id|name|ip> --format png
fased nodes canvas eval --node <id|name|ip> --js "document.title"
fased nodes location get --node <id|name|ip> --accuracy balanced
fased nodes notify --node <id|name|ip> --title "Ping" --body "Gateway ready"
fased nodes push --node <id|name|ip> --title "Ping" --body "Push test"
Media commands print MEDIA:<path> in text mode and return file metadata with --json.
