**Part of:** Human-Controlled AI Systems · Research Program 1 (anchor — Apple-side agent governance).

**Requires**: macOS for the server. The default `npx -y airmcp` loads a curated **starter** module set (~111 tools); `--full` (or `AIRMCP_FULL=true`) enables all 29 modules / 272 tools. Most tools are pure JXA and work on macOS 14+ with no extra setup. **Swift-backed tools** — HealthKit, on-device semantic search, recurring events/reminders, photo import/delete/classify, Vision, Speech, Location, Bluetooth, and Apple Intelligence previews — need the **optional Swift bridge** (`npm run swift-build`, or install via the `.mcpb` bundle); without it those tools return a clear "Swift bridge not found" error and everything else keeps working. FoundationModels-backed Apple Intelligence and `AskAirMCPIntent` additionally require macOS 26+ on Apple Silicon and an opt-in Swift build with `AIRMCP_ENABLE_FOUNDATION_MODELS`.

- **Workflow engine** — declare multi-step automations in YAML with `parallel` / `loop` / `on_error` / `retry` / 9 event triggers. Not one-shot tool calls — a runtime that *orchestrates*.
- **Semantic memory** — facts / entities / episodes with Gemini or on-device Swift embeddings. Persistent across restarts. This is agent context, not an OS feature.
- **Safety primitives** — HITL approval, HMAC-chained audit log with tamper-detection asserted as a tested contract (`tests/audit-tamper-detection.test.js`), rate limiting, emergency stop, OAuth 2.1 + Resource Indicators (production-grade JWT verifier with RS256/ES256 + RFC 8707 audience + RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata + DPoP advertisement).
- **Native Swift bridge** *(optional — `npm run swift-build` or the `.mcpb` bundle; not shipped in the npm tarball)* — direct access to EventKit / HealthKit / PhotoKit / Vision, with Foundation Models behind the explicit `AIRMCP_ENABLE_FOUNDATION_MODELS` preview flag. Not an `osascript` wrapper.
