Send Input to Session

fc_send_input

Send input to a running shell or Python session. Provide session ID, input, and optionally append newline.

Args:

  • session_id (string): Session ID

  • input (string): Input to send

  • newline (boolean, optional): Append newline (default: true)

Examples:

  • Python: input="print('Hello')"

  • Shell: input="ls -la"

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate non-readonly and non-destructive. The description adds context about the newline parameter and provides examples showing behavior for different languages. There is no contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise: a single line for purpose, a clear args list, and helpful examples. No wasted words, information is front-loaded and easy to parse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple input-sending tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, the description covers all necessary information: how to use, parameter details, and example use cases.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The description adds value by providing examples for the input parameter (Python vs Shell) and clarifying the default for newline, exceeding schema information.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states 'Sends input to a running session,' which is a specific verb-resource pair. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like fc_start_session (starts a session) and fc_list_processes (lists processes).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage when you have a running session and need to send input, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives or state prerequisites. The context is clear enough for this simple tool.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
