> Change tmux state; no client-supplied executable input. Resize a pane, either to a size or by an amount in a direction. Give width/height for an absolute size, or direction with amount for a nudge.

MCP is in development

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

Change tmux state; no client-supplied executable input. Resize a pane, either to a size or by an amount in a direction. Give width/height for an absolute size, or direction with amount for a nudge.

## Arguments

* `amount` optional · integer

  Cells to move by. Needs direction.

* `direction` optional · string

  Adjust by an amount in this direction instead of setting a size.

* `height` optional · integer

  Set the pane height, in rows.

* `paneId` required · string

  Stable pane id, e.g. %1.

* `width` optional · integer

  Set the width, in columns.

* `zoom` optional · boolean

  true makes this pane fill its window, false restores the layout. A state, not a toggle: sending the same value twice is a no-op.

## Schemas

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