How to read this: tool names here are observed from a live tools/list handshake. The Risk label is a heuristic inferred from the tool name (write/destructive verbs), not from executing the tool — a conservative guess, not a verified capability. We never escalate risk from a description. Found one that's wrong? Tell us — we fix on report.

Tool	Risk	Side effects	Approval
tmux_list List all tmux panes with target ID, process, label, and working directory	read	false	unknown
tmux_keys Send special keys to a tmux pane (Enter, Escape, C-c, etc.). Must tmux_read first.	unknown	unknown	unknown
tmux_doctor Diagnose tmux connectivity issues — checks socket, env vars, and pane visibility	unknown	unknown	unknown
tmux_type Type text into a tmux pane WITHOUT pressing Enter. You must tmux_read the pane first (read guard enforced). After typing, use tmux_read to verify, then tmux_keys to press Enter.	read	false	unknown
tmux_resolve Look up a pane's target ID by its label	unknown	unknown	unknown
tmux_read Read the last N lines from a tmux pane. Must be called before type/keys (read guard). Target can be a pane ID (%N), session:window.pane, or a label.	read	false	unknown
tmux_name Label a tmux pane for easy addressing (e.g., 'gemini', 'claude'). The label appears in the tmux border.	unknown	unknown	unknown
tmux_message Send a message to another agent's pane with auto-prepended sender info, reply target, and correlation ID. Cannot message your own pane (loop prevention). Must tmux_read first.	read	false	unknown
tmux_id Print the current pane's tmux ID ($TMUX_PANE). Useful for self-identification when labeling.	unknown	unknown	unknown
