toolkitdDaemon for indexing various actions types across the system into the ToolKit database

toolkitd

The toolkitd daemon indexes App Intents, SiriKit intents, shortcuts bundled actions and more into the ToolKit database. This database is used by various clients to discover and run available tools and actions.

The daemon is launched on-demand via XPC when an indexing request is received.

toolkitd registers the Mach service and listens for messages. Upon receiving a request, it executes a pipeline of indexing steps to populate the tool database.
