Usage Examples

Basic Chat

{
  "tool": "chat",
  "params": {
    "message": "Create a hello world Python script",
    "workingDirectory": "/path/to/project"
  }
}

Permission Handling

When Claude Code needs permission, you'll receive:

{
  "status": "awaiting_permission",
  "sessionId": "abc-123",
  "pendingPermission": {
    "tool": "Bash",
    "action": "rm -rf /tmp/test",
    "description": "Delete temporary directory"
  },
  "currentOutput": "I need to clean up the temp directory...",
  "message": "Use 'respond' tool to approve, deny, or redirect."
}

You can then respond with:

Approve:

{
  "tool": "respond",
  "params": {
    "sessionId": "abc-123",
    "action": "approve"
  }
}

Deny:

{
  "tool": "respond",
  "params": {
    "sessionId": "abc-123",
    "action": "deny"
  }
}

Redirect (provide alternative instructions):

{
  "tool": "respond",
  "params": {
    "sessionId": "abc-123",
    "action": "redirect",
    "message": "Don't delete the directory. Instead, just remove the .tmp files inside it."
  }
}

Interrupt a Task

{
  "tool": "interrupt",
  "params": {
    "sessionId": "abc-123"
  }
}

Permission Checkpoint Philosophy

Permission requests are not just approve/deny gates - they are audit and steering points where the outer agent can:

  1. Review what Claude Code is doing

  2. Approve and let it continue

  3. Deny and stop the current operation

  4. Redirect with new instructions ("No, do this instead...")

This gives the outer agent the same level of control a human would have when using Claude Code interactively.
