Mactop Skill

Execute mactop in headless TOON mode and parse the output for hardware metrics.

Prerequisites

• mactop installed: brew install mactop
• PATH includes /usr/sbin: Required for sysctl access

Usage

Get Full Metrics

mactop --format toon --headless --count 1

Parse Key Metrics

CPU Usage:

mactop --format toon --headless --count 1 | grep "^cpu_usage:" | awk '{print $2}'

RAM (used/total GB):

mactop --format toon --headless --count 1 | grep -E "^  (Used|Total):" | awk '{printf "%.1f", $2/1073741824}'

GPU Usage:

mactop --format toon --headless --count 1 | grep "^gpu_usage:" | awk '{print $2}'

Power (total/CPU/GPU):

mactop --format toon --headless --count 1 | grep -E "^  (TotalPower|CPUPower|GPUPower):" | awk '{print $2}'

Thermal State:

mactop --format toon --headless --count 1 | grep "^thermal_state:" | awk '{print $2}'

Temperature:

mactop --format toon --headless --count 1 | grep "^  SocTemp:" | awk '{print $2}'

Chip Info:

mactop --format toon --headless --count 1 | grep "^  Name:" | awk '{print $2}'

Network I/O (bytes/sec):

mactop --format toon --headless --count 1 | grep -E "^(  InBytesPerSec|  OutBytesPerSec):" | awk '{print $2}'

Thunderbolt Buses:

mactop --format toon --headless --count 1 | grep "^    Name:" | awk '{print $2}'

Troubleshooting

• "sysctl not found" → Add /usr/sbin to PATH
• No output → Verify mactop is installed: which mactop
