Server behavior and tool contracts may change. Tool availability depends on the server configuration.

Send input to a pane’s program; a shell that receives it runs it with your user’s permissions. Put text into a pane without tmux interpreting any of it as key names. Use for content — a password, a code block, anything with characters a key parser would claim.

## Arguments

* `enter` optional · boolean

  Press Enter afterwards. Default false.

* `force` optional · boolean

  Allow writing to the pane this server itself was called from, which is otherwise refused. It does not override the refusal to write to a pane a person is watching — a pane an attached client has on screen is still refused with force.

* `paneId` required · string

  Stable pane id, e.g. %1.

* `text` required · string

  Text to paste. Sent through a tmux buffer, so a shell's line editor does not redraw on every character.

## Schemas

The schema defines required fields, nested values, defaults, and validation constraints.
