Summary
Boots Android emulators and gets them ready for UI automation through the argent MCP tools. When you call boot-device, it automatically tries a hot snapshot restore first (around 30 seconds) and falls back to a cold boot (2 to 10 minutes) if that fails. The nice part is it cleans up after itself on failure so you don't end up with zombie processes. Once the device is up, you pass its serial as the udid to gesture, screenshot, and app launch tools. One quirk worth knowing: it handles Android TV AVDs too, but those are focus driven, not touch driven, so you need different interaction tools. Stops you from tapping on a leanback interface that won't respond.
