  "description": "Send keys (commands or text) to a tmux pane.\n\nUse this for raw interactive input: TUI keys, control sequences,\npartial shell input, or persistent shell state. Use ``send_keys_batch``\nwhen you need several ordered raw-input operations.\n\nFor authored shell commands that need completion, exit status, or\ncaptured output, use ``run_command`` instead. For custom completion\noutside that shape, compose ``tmux wait-for -S <channel>`` into the\nshell command and call ``wait_for_channel``. For repeated observation\nafter input, prefer ``capture_since``; reserve ``wait_for_text``\nfor output the agent does not author.\n\nDo NOT call ``capture_pane`` immediately — both the read and the\npattern-match paths race the pane's PTY draw.",
