What is agentwire-mcp-tools?

A reference for tools provided by AgentWire, a system for managing agent sessions, messages, tasks, locks, machines, and related work. It maps command-line actions to the corresponding tools an agent should call.

Use it to create or inspect sessions, exchange messages, manage tasks and locks, view session output, and access the other listed AgentWire functions.

It helps agents choose the correct integrated tool and avoid using shell commands for AgentWire operations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00087	$0.03859
Opus 5.5	$0.00035	$0.01544
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00017	$0.00772
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00386

Security

Grade A, and why

agentwire-mcp-tools scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AgentWire MCP Tools

Agents running in agentwire sessions should use MCP tools instead of CLI commands. The agentwire MCP server provides tools that wrap CLI functionality. Use these instead of Bash: agentwire <cmd>.

Session Management (13 tools)

CLI Command	MCP Tool
`agentwire list`	`sessions_list()`
`agentwire list --context`	`sessions_context(session="")` — context headroom (remaining %); LOW = bloated. Observe-only (#442).
`agentwire new -s name`	`session_create(name="...")`
`agentwire send -s name "msg"`	`session_send(session="...", message="...")`
`agentwire msg send --to name "msg"`	`msg_send(to="...", text="...", kind="note", ref="")`
`agentwire msg inbox -s name`	`msg_inbox(session="...")`
`agentwire msg pull -s name`	`msg_pull(session="...")`
`agentwire msg flush -s name`	`msg_flush(session="...")`
`agentwire msg sent --limit N --to S --id ID`	`msg_sent(limit=20, to=None, message_id=None)` — state of messages YOU sent; `delivered` = pasted, not read
`agentwire msg dead -s name`	`msg_dead(session="...")`
`agentwire output -s name`	`session_output(session="...")`
`agentwire info -s name`	`session_info(session="...")`
`agentwire kill -s name`	`session_kill(session="...")`
`agentwire send-keys -s name key1 key2`	`session_send_keys(session="...", keys=["..."])`
`agentwire recreate -s name`	`session_recreate(session="...")`
`agentwire fork -s name -t project/branch`	`session_fork(session="...", target="...")`
`agentwire fork -s name -t project/branch --commit abc`	`session_fork(session="...", target="...", commit="abc")`
`agentwire wait --children`	`wait_children(timeout=300)` — block on the children YOU spawned; see below

session_send vs msg_send: session_send pastes + Enter immediately — and clobbers a human's half-typed draft if the box is occupied. Use it only when you must forcibly drive a session now. msg_send is the polite path: it queues a typed message into a file inbox and the watchdog injects it only when the recipient's box is empty and the pane is safe (≤60s). For routine peer updates ("PR drafted", "picking up the footer"), prefer msg_send. kind ∈ note|done|request|escalation|ingest|idle (idle = the idle hook's synthetic placeholder for a child that went quiet without reporting, #952 — never hand-send it); to="@all" broadcasts to live agent sessions except you. See wiki sessions/messaging.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
