name: adom-desktop-rustdesk-bridge description: Drive RustDesk remote-desktop sessions via Adom Desktop — connect out to / control / view / screen-share a remote host that RDP can't reach (Windows Home, no RDP server).

Adom Desktop - RustDesk Bridge

Use this when the user wants to control or view a remote machine's screen and RDP isn't an option (Windows Home can't host RDP; or the host has no RDP server). Client side — it drives the controlling machine out to a host.

FIRST-TIME / COLD-START — read before you panic

A fresh machine may not have the RustDesk client yet. not present / installing is EXPECTED, not failure — prewarm and poll, don't declare defeat.

You see (field / errorCode) Meaning What you do
rustdesk_connecterror: rustdesk client not found client not downloaded yet call rustdesk_prewarm (non-blocking), poll rustdesk_readiness until ready:true, retry connect
rustdesk_readinessinstalling:true client downloading in background re-poll rustdesk_readiness; never block, never re-trigger
rustdesk_readinessready:true client present rustdesk_connect {to,password}
rustdesk_readinesslastError set download failed relay the _hint; retry rustdesk_prewarm

For "what tools do I have / is it ready", call the AD-level bridge_readiness — NOT rustdesk_client_status (status may spawn the bridge; bridge_readiness never does).

Core verbs (80% path)

Command Description Key args
rustdesk_connect open a session to a host {to: <id-or-ip>, password?}
rustdesk_client_status installed path + active sessions
rustdesk_disconnect close one session (or all) {to?}
rustdesk_readiness READ-ONLY cold-start probe (never downloads)
rustdesk_prewarm start the client download in background {wait?}

Conventions

  • Surface _hint verbatim. Every verb returns an actionable _hint; relay it unchanged; branch on the stable field/errorCode, not the prose.
  • ok:true is not enoughrustdesk_connect returns on session-START. Verify with rustdesk_client_status (session shows as <id> - Remote Desktop - RustDesk).
  • Pass the password to auto-authenticate; without it the session waits at a prompt on the controlling machine.
  • Multi-machine: adom-desktop --target <name> rustdesk_connect .... On the same LAN/VPN RustDesk auto-upgrades to a direct P2P link.
