Browser Extension

Install the extension so FluxDown takes over browser downloads automatically:

MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)

FluxDown ships a built-in MCP server so AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, …) can manage downloads via the Model Context Protocol. It speaks Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over a single POST /mcp) on the local API port — no extra process needed.

  • Endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:17800/mcp (local-only by default)

  • Auth: Bearer token (Authorization: Bearer <token> or X-FluxDown-Token), shared with the management API

  • Enable: Settings → API Service → toggle MCP endpoint (a token is generated automatically); the headless server enables it by default

Tools (12)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fluxdown": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:17800/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your-token>" }
    }
  }
}

The MCP layer is implemented in native/api/src/mcp.rs on top of the same ApiHost trait that powers the REST management API and aria2-compatible JSON-RPC.

Architecture

Flutter renders the UI; a zero-FFI Rust engine does the heavy lifting. The two talk through Rinf signals, and the browser extension connects via Native Messaging.

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are present, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It states the tool returns a new task ID and supports multiple protocols, implying it initiates a download. However, it does not disclose whether the download starts immediately or is queued, what happens with invalid URLs, or any other side effects. The description is adequate but lacks depth given no annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that conveys the core purpose and key details upfront. It is not verbose and every part adds value, but it lacks explicit structure like bullet points or sections.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has 10 parameters, many optional but specific, and no output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain the return value format, error handling, default behaviors for optional parameters, or the significance of certain fields like checksum or segments. More context would be needed for effective use.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so each parameter is documented. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema, such as listing supported protocols. It does not elaborate on parameter interactions or provide examples. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool creates a new download task, lists supported protocols (HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/Magnet/BitTorrent), and mentions the return of a new task ID. This specifically distinguishes it from sibling tools like download_get or download_pause, which handle existing tasks.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, conditions for use, or when not to use it. With sibling tools for various task operations, some usage context would be beneficial.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

download_getB

按任务 ID 查询单个任务的详细信息。

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
taskIdYes任务 ID(必填)。

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided. The description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as side effects, authorization needs, or rate limits. It only states the basic operation without additional context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise at one sentence, front-loading the key information without any fluff. Every word is necessary.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description lacks details on return values or output format. With no output schema, the agent needs more context about what 'detailed information' includes. The description is incomplete for a straightforward retrieval tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with a clear description for taskId. The tool description adds no new semantic meaning beyond referencing the parameter. For high coverage, a score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'query', the resource 'detailed information of a single task', and the method 'by task ID'. It differentiates from sibling tools like download_list and download_add.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for querying a specific task but lacks explicit guidance on when to use vs siblings like download_list or when not to use. Since the tool is simple and singular, it's adequate but not informative.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

download_listA

列出下载任务,可按状态过滤。返回任务数组(含进度、速度、状态等)。

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
statusNo按状态过滤(省略或 all = 全部)。

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Description specifies that it returns an array with progress, speed, and status, clarifying the read-only nature. No annotations provided, so description carries burden. Could improve by stating no side effects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences with no superfluous text. Front-loaded with verb and resource.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple list tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose, filtering, and return structure.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Parameter semantics are fully covered by schema (100% coverage). Description adds minimal value by listing return fields but does not elaborate beyond schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states '列出下载任务' (list download tasks) and mentions filtering by status, distinguishing it from sibling tools like download_add or download_get.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Description implies usage for listing tasks with optional status filter, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool instead of alternatives like download_get or queue_list.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

download_pauseC

暂停指定任务。

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
taskIdYes任务 ID(必填)。

TDQS

C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided. Description only states the basic action without disclosing effects like whether pausing is reversible, impact on other tasks, or error states. Minimal behavioral insight for a mutation operation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Extremely short (one sentence), which is concise but lacks substantive information. It is front-loaded but too terse to fully serve an AI agent's decision-making.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema exists; description does not mention return values or state changes. For a simple pause operation, it could be acceptable, but it omits details like idempotency or concurrent effects. Incomplete for an agent.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Parameter schema coverage is 100% with a simple required taskId string. The description does not add meaning beyond the schema, but for a single straightforward parameter, this is acceptable. No extra guidance on how to obtain the task ID.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states the action (pause) and object (specified task). It distinguishes from sibling tool download_pause_all by focusing on a single task. However, it does not explicitly mention that tasks are download-related, though context from sibling names implies it.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No information on when to use this tool versus alternatives like download_pause_all or download_resume. The description lacks any context about prerequisites or appropriate scenarios.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

download_pause_allA

暂停全部活跃任务(pending / downloading / preparing)。

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so description must cover behavior. It specifies affected states but omits details like idempotency, impact on already paused tasks, or potential side effects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, front-loaded with action and scope. No wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given zero parameters and simple action, description is largely sufficient. However, it could mention that it affects only tasks in the listed states and is reversible via 'download_resume_all'.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters exist, so description adds no parameter info, which is acceptable. Baseline 4 for zero parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states action (pause all) and scope (active tasks with states pending/downloading/preparing). Distinguishes from siblings like 'download_pause' (single) and 'download_resume_all'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit when-to-use or alternatives guidance. While the name and description imply bulk pausing, the description could explicitly state scenarios like 'Use when you want to stop all active downloads at once.'

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

download_removeA

删除指定任务,可选同时删除已下载的磁盘文件。

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
taskIdYes任务 ID(必填)。
deleteFilesNo是否同时删除磁盘文件(默认 false)。

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description discloses the core behavior (deletion) and an optional destructive action (file deletion). Without annotations, it adequately conveys the main side effect but does not mention irreversibility, prerequisites, or potential impact on other tasks.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the primary action and nests the optional behavior efficiently. Every word serves purpose without redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a deletion tool with no output schema, the description covers the essential action and optional file removal. It does not mention return values or prerequisites, but these are not critical for a straightforward operation. Sibling tools provide cluster context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the description's paraphrase of taskId and deleteFiles adds minimal new information. The description explains deleteFiles as 'optional delete downloaded disk files', which mirrors the schema description, thus providing no added semantic depth.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly specifies the verb '删除' (delete) and the resource '指定任务' (specified task), effectively distinguishing it from sibling tools which focus on adding, getting, listing, pausing, or resuming tasks.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for task removal and optionally file deletion, providing clear context. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives or any exclusions (e.g., cannot remove active tasks).

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

download_resumeC

恢复指定的已暂停任务。

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
taskIdYes任务 ID(必填)。

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, and the description only states what the tool does without disclosing behavioral traits such as idempotency, error behavior (e.g., if task is not paused), or any side effects. Minimal transparency beyond the basic action.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One sentence, front-loaded with the key action. It is concise but could include more context without becoming verbose. The structure is adequate.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the simplicity (1 parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally complete. However, it lacks context about behavior with siblings like 'download_resume_all' and error states, leaving some gaps for a fully informed agent.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and the parameter 'taskId' is described in the schema as '任务 ID(必填)'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (resume) and the resource (specified paused task). It does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling 'download_resume_all', but the singular focus is implied by the name and description.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'download_resume_all' or 'download_pause'. The description only implies usage for resuming a paused task without stating conditions or exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

download_resume_allA

恢复全部已暂停任务。

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond the action. For a no-annotations tool, the description should indicate potential side effects or confirmation needed, but it is silent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Extremely concise single sentence with no wasted words. Appropriate for a no-parameter tool.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and zero parameters, the description provides enough context for the basic action. Could be enhanced with notes about idempotency or scope.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters, so description does not need to add parameter context. Baseline of 4 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it resumes all paused tasks, distinguishing it from siblings like download_resume (resumes a specific task) and download_pause_all (pauses all).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives, but the name implies batch resuming. Lacks when-not-to-use information.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

queue_listA

列出全部命名队列及其配置(并发数、限速、默认目录等)。

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says what the tool does (list queues) but does not mention that it is a read-only operation, any authentication needs, or potential side effects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it highly concise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema and no annotations, the description provides basic information about what is returned (list of queues with config fields like concurrency, rate limit, default directory). However, it lacks details on pagination, ordering, or output format, leaving some gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

There are no parameters (0 params), so schema coverage is 100% by default. The description adds no parameter information, but according to rules, 0 params baseline is 4, making this score appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool lists all named queues with their configurations, using a specific verb '列出' (list) and resource '全部命名队列及其配置'. It distinguishes from sibling tools, which are all download-related.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While no competing queue tools exist among siblings, the description lacks any context or conditions for usage.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
