libtmux_mcp.tools.buffer_tools.paste_buffer(
    buffer_name: str,
    pane_id: str | None = None,
    bracket: bool = True,
    session_name: str | None = None,

) -> str
```

Paste an MCP-owned buffer into a pane.

## Parameters

- `buffer_name` (`str`): Must match the full MCP-namespaced form returned by
:func:`~libtmux_mcp.tools.buffer_tools.load_buffer`.
Non-MCP buffers are rejected so the tool cannot be turned into
an arbitrary-buffer reader.
- `pane_id` (`str | None`): Target pane ID.
- `bracket` (`bool`): Use tmux bracketed paste mode. Default True.
- `session_name` (`str | None`)
- `session_id` (`str | None`)
- `window_id` (`str | None`)
- `socket_name` (`str | None`): tmux socket name.

## Returns

str
    Confirmation message naming the target pane.
