Desktop Screenshots
Desktop screenshots (outside the browser) are not supported in this profile. The platform-specific CLI tools (screencapture on macOS, gnome-screenshot on Linux) are not cross-platform compatible.
If you need desktop screenshots, ask the user to take one manually and provide the file path.
