**One MCP call per port at a time.** `SerialInterface` holds an exclusive OS-level lock on the serial port for its lifetime. If a `serial_*` session is open on `/dev/cu.usbmodem101`, calling `device_info` on the same port will fail fast pointing at the active session. Sequence calls: open → read/mutate → close, then next device. Never parallelize tool calls on the same port.

- **Serial sessions** (long-running, 10k-line ring buffer): `serial_open`, `serial_read`, `serial_list`, `serial_close`
- **Device reads**: `device_info`, `list_nodes`
- **Device writes** (all require `confirm=True`): `set_owner`, `get_config`, `set_config`, `get_channel_url`, `set_channel_url`, `send_text`, `reboot`, `shutdown`, `factory_reset`, `set_debug_log_api`

- **USB power control** (via `uhubctl`, per-port PPPS toggle): `uhubctl_list` (read-only), `uhubctl_power(action='on'|'off', confirm=True)`, `uhubctl_cycle(delay_s, confirm=True)`. Target by raw `(location, port)` or by `role` (`"nrf52"`, `"esp32s3"`); role lookup checks `MESHTASTIC_UHUBCTL_LOCATION_<ROLE>` + `_PORT_<ROLE>` env vars first, falls back to VID auto-detection.
- **Observability** (UI tier + operator ad-hoc): `capture_screen(role, ocr=True)` — grabs a USB-webcam frame of the device OLED and optionally OCRs it. Requires `mcp-server[ui]` extras (`opencv-python-headless`, `easyocr`) and `MESHTASTIC_UI_CAMERA_DEVICE_<ROLE>` env var; falls through to a 1×1 black PNG `NullBackend` when unconfigured.
`confirm=True` is a tool-level gate on top of whatever permission prompt your MCP host shows. **Don't bypass it** by asking the host to auto-approve — it exists specifically because MCP hosts sometimes remember "always allow this tool" and that's dangerous for `factory_reset` and `erase_and_flash`.
