Review·Scanned 2/18/2026

This skill documents how to send payloads to the Ray desktop app via its local HTTP API (http://localhost:23517/) and includes many curl/shell examples and MCP tool parameters. It explicitly instructs executing shell commands (e.g., curl ..., FILE_CONTENT=$(cat "$FILE_PATH" ...)) and storing values in shell variables like FIRST_UUID, enabling reading local files and sending their contents to http://localhost:23517/.
