Computer Control API

\n

La Computer Control API permette di controllare da remoto computer registrati.\nUn piccolo agente (screen-remote-agent) viene eseguito sulla macchina di\ndestinazione, esegue il polling dei comandi, li esegue e pubblica i risultati.\nQuesto abilita l'automazione GUI guidata da LLM.

Endpoint lato utente (Mind Key o JWT)

\n

GET /computers/list

\n

Elenca tutti i computer registrati.

\n
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MIND_KEY" \\\n     https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/list

GET /computers/:id

\n

Ottiene i dettagli di un singolo computer.

\n
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MIND_KEY" \\\n     https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/comp_001

POST /computers/install-code

\n

Genera un codice di installazione per registrare un nuovo computer.

\n
curl -X POST https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/install-code \\\n  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MIND_KEY" \\\n  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\\n  -d '{"computer_name": "office-mac"}'

Risposta: { "install_code": "ic_xyz789", "expires_at": "..." }

\n

POST /computers/:id/commands

\n

Accoda un comando che l'agente remoto eseguirà.

\n
curl -X POST https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/comp_001/commands \\\n  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MIND_KEY" \\\n  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\\n  -d '{\n    "type": "screenshot",\n    "payload": {}\n  }'

Risposta: { "command_id": "cmd_001", "status": "queued" }

\n

GET /computers/:id/command (via query)

\n

Accoda un comando tramite GET (per casi semplici).

\n
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MIND_KEY" \\\n     "https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/comp_001/command?type=screenshot"

GET /computers/:id/commands

\n

Elenca i comandi recenti di un computer.

\n
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MIND_KEY" \\\n     "https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/comp_001/commands?limit=50"

GET /computers/:id/commands/:cid

\n

Ottiene stato + risultato di uno specifico comando.

\n
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MIND_KEY" \\\n     https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/comp_001/commands/cmd_001

GET /computers/:id/screenshot

\n

One-shot: accoda un comando screenshot e attende fino a 30s per il risultato.

\n
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MIND_KEY" \\\n     https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/comp_001/screenshot > screenshot.png

POST /computers/:id/disable

\n

Disabilita un computer (revoca il token, mantiene il record per audit).

\n
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MIND_KEY" \\\n     https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/comp_001/disable

DELETE /computers/:id

\n

Elimina definitivamente un computer.

\n
curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MIND_KEY" \\\n     https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/comp_001

Endpoint lato agente (Computer Token)

\n

Questi endpoint sono utilizzati dal screen-remote-agent in esecuzione sulla\nmacchina di destinazione. Usano un Computer Token (restituito da\n/computers/register), non una Mind Key.

\n

POST /computers/register

\n

Riscatta un codice di installazione e ottiene un Computer Token.

\n
curl -X POST https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/register \\\n  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\\n  -d '{\n    "code": "ic_xyz789",\n    "computer_name": "office-mac",\n    "platform": "darwin",\n    "platform_release": "14.5.0",\n    "python": "3.12.4"\n  }'

Risposta: { "computer_id": "comp_001", "computer_token": "ct_..." }

\n
Salvi il `computer_token` — viene mostrato una sola volta ed è richiesto per\ntutti gli endpoint lato agente.

GET /computers/me/poll

\n

Long-polling per nuovi comandi. L'agente lo chiama in un ciclo.

\n
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ct_YOUR_COMPUTER_TOKEN" \\\n     "https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/me/poll?wait=30"

Ritorna immediatamente se ci sono comandi in attesa, o dopo wait secondi in caso contrario.

\n

POST /computers/me/commands/:cid/result

\n

Pubblica il risultato dell'esecuzione di un comando.

\n
curl -X POST https://synapse.schaefer.zone/computers/me/commands/cmd_001/result \\\n  -H "Authorization: Bearer ct_YOUR_COMPUTER_TOKEN" \\\n  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\\n  -d '{\n    "status": "done",\n    "result": { "screenshot_b64": "iVBORw0KG..." }\n  }'
