# Session Tools
|
||
|
||
Goal: small, hard-to-misuse tool surface so agents can list sessions, fetch history, and send to another session.
|
||
|
||
## Tool Names
|
||
- `sessions_list`
|
||
- `sessions_history`
|
||
- `sessions_send`
|
||
|
||
## Key Model
|
||
- Main direct chat bucket is always the literal key `"main"`.
|
||
- Group chats use `surface:group:<id>` or `surface:channel:<id>`.
|
||
- Cron jobs use `cron:<job.id>`.
|
||
- Hooks use `hook:<uuid>` unless explicitly set.
|
||
- Node bridge uses `node-<nodeId>` unless explicitly set.
|
||
|
||
`global` and `unknown` are internal-only and never listed. If `session.scope = "global"`, we alias it to `main` for all tools so callers never see `global`.
|
||
|
||
## sessions_list
|
||
List sessions as an array of rows.
|
||
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
- `kinds?: string[]` filter: any of `"main" | "group" | "cron" | "hook" | "node" | "other"`
|
||
- `limit?: number` max rows (default: server default, clamp e.g. 200)
|
||
- `activeMinutes?: number` only sessions updated within N minutes
|
||
- `messageLimit?: number` 0 = no messages (default 0); >0 = include last N messages
|
||
|
||
Behavior:
|
||
- `messageLimit > 0` fetches `chat.history` per session and includes the last N messages.
|
||
- Tool results are filtered out in list output; use `sessions_history` for tool messages.
|
||
|
||
Row shape (JSON):
|
||
- `key`: session key (string)
|
||
- `kind`: `main | group | cron | hook | node | other`
|
||
- `provider`: `whatsapp | telegram | discord | signal | imessage | webchat | internal | unknown`
|
||
- `displayName` (group display label if available)
|
||
- `updatedAt` (ms)
|
||
- `sessionId`
|
||
- `model`, `contextTokens`, `totalTokens`
|
||
- `thinkingLevel`, `verboseLevel`, `systemSent`, `abortedLastRun`
|
||
- `sendPolicy` (session override if set)
|
||
- `lastChannel`, `lastTo`
|
||
- `transcriptPath` (best-effort path derived from store dir + sessionId)
|
||
- `messages?` (only when `messageLimit > 0`)
|
||
|
||
## sessions_history
|
||
Fetch transcript for one session.
|
||
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
- `sessionKey` (required)
|
||
- `limit?: number` max messages (server clamps)
|
||
- `includeTools?: boolean` (default false)
|
||
|
||
Behavior:
|
||
- `includeTools=false` filters `role: "toolResult"` messages.
|
||
- Returns messages array in the raw transcript format.
|
||
|
||
## sessions_send
|
||
Send a message into another session.
|
||
|
||
Parameters:
|
||
- `sessionKey` (required)
|
||
- `message` (required)
|
||
- `timeoutSeconds?: number` (default >0; 0 = fire-and-forget)
|
||
|
||
Behavior:
|
||
- `timeoutSeconds = 0`: enqueue and return `{ runId, status: "accepted" }`.
|
||
- `timeoutSeconds > 0`: wait up to N seconds for completion, then return `{ runId, status: "ok", reply }`.
|
||
- If wait times out: `{ runId, status: "timeout", error }`. Run continues; call `sessions_history` later.
|
||
- If the run fails: `{ runId, status: "error", error }`.
|
||
- Waits via gateway `agent.wait` (server-side) so reconnects don't drop the wait.
|
||
- Agent-to-agent message context is injected for the primary run.
|
||
- After the primary run completes, Clawdbot runs a **reply-back loop**:
|
||
- Round 2+ alternates between requester and target agents.
|
||
- Reply exactly `REPLY_SKIP` to stop the ping‑pong.
|
||
- Max turns is `session.agentToAgent.maxPingPongTurns` (0–5, default 5).
|
||
- Once the loop ends, Clawdbot runs the **agent‑to‑agent announce step** (target agent only):
|
||
- Reply exactly `ANNOUNCE_SKIP` to stay silent.
|
||
- Any other reply is sent to the target channel.
|
||
- Announce step includes the original request + round‑1 reply + latest ping‑pong reply.
|
||
|
||
## Provider Field
|
||
- For groups, `provider` is the `surface` recorded on the session entry.
|
||
- For direct chats, `provider` maps from `lastChannel`.
|
||
- For cron/hook/node, `provider` is `internal`.
|
||
- If missing, `provider` is `unknown`.
|
||
|
||
## Security / Send Policy
|
||
Policy-based blocking by surface/chat type (not per session id).
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"session": {
|
||
"sendPolicy": {
|
||
"rules": [
|
||
{
|
||
"match": { "surface": "discord", "chatType": "group" },
|
||
"action": "deny"
|
||
}
|
||
],
|
||
"default": "allow"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Runtime override (per session entry):
|
||
- `sendPolicy: "allow" | "deny"` (unset = inherit config)
|
||
- Settable via `sessions.patch` or owner-only `/send on|off|inherit`.
|
||
|
||
Enforcement points:
|
||
- `chat.send` / `agent` (gateway)
|
||
- auto-reply delivery logic
