Why enhancedSend needs a policy

This tool sends messages within a tmux-based orchestration system that controls Claude instances. 'Send' with 'guaranteed delivery' implies triggering actions/commands in other processes or sessions. In the context of a tmux orchestration server, sending a message can cause downstream execution of code or commands in spawned Claude instances, making this an Execute-category tool.

POLICY

How to control enhancedSend

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and tmux-claude MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for enhancedSend:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "enhancedSend": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "enhancedsend_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

enhancedSend stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register tmux-claude MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about enhancedSend

What does the enhancedSend tool do? +

Send a message with queuing and guaranteed delivery. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the tmux-claude MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on enhancedSend? +

Register the tmux-claude MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for enhancedSend: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches tmux-claude MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is enhancedSend? +

enhancedSend is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit enhancedSend? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the enhancedSend rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block enhancedSend completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for enhancedSend. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides enhancedSend? +

enhancedSend is provided by the tmux-claude MCP Server MCP server (michael-abdo/tmux-claude-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every tmux-claude MCP Server tool call.

Start from tmux-claude MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
