# request_attention_spawn

Request a NEW local coding session from voice/chat (tab spawn). Queues a sticky for the desk launcher on THIS operator's machine (host must run attention-launcher). Use when they say "start a Grok/Claude on …", "new build for …", "open a session for …". Does not open a cloud IDE — the local launcher opens Terminal + announces + optional first directive. [write-tier — first use may require a manager's approval; a from-now-on approval makes future calls seamless, a just-once approval re-asks next time.]

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `cwd` | string | no | Working directory on the operator machine (e.g. /Users/…/GitHub/freedom-ai). Prefer absolute paths they already use. |
| `goal` | string | yes | One-line goal for the new session (1–500 chars). |
| `host` | string | yes | Which builder to open: grok (Terminal) \| claude-desktop (Claude.app Code — preferred) \| claude-code (Terminal CLI) |
| `companyId` | string | no | FreedomOS company id to act within (you must be a member). Required for company-scoped tools. |
| `session_id` | string | no | Optional stable session id; default auto-derived from host + project. |
| `first_instruction` | string | no | Optional first work sticky delivered after the new session announces (imperative). |

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "request_attention_spawn",
    "arguments": {
      "goal": "<goal>",
      "host": "<host>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why request_attention_spawn is rated High

This tool's primary function is to execute external operations (launch local development environments, open terminals, execute directives) on the host machine. While it involves queueing (a data structure operation), its effect is spawning processes and executing code directives, making it Execute rather than Write. The mention of 'optional first directive' indicates the tool can receive code/commands to run.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'spawns' new local coding sessions, opens Terminal, and can receive 'optional first directive' — this executes operations on the operator's machine, not merely writing data."

Risk signals: Accepts file system path (cwd) · Accepts URL/endpoint input (host)

## Use case

AI agents invoke request_attention_spawn to trigger actions in Freedom Mcp. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Freedom Mcp:
