Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I'd like to be able to use the Shortcuts app [1] to trigger MonitorControl actions e.g. set a particular screen brightness to X%. See App Intents documentation [2] for further background.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to see MonitorControl actions exposed via the App Intents framework. It may make sense to start with a single intent that allows a particular screen brightness to be set directly to a target percentage.

Describe alternatives you've considered

https://github.com/kfix/ddcctl for command line monitor brightness control along with the existing shell command execution support in the Shortcuts app.

I'd rather have a single monitor control app and avoid additional dependencies.
