Claude Code's unified outbound channel layer: one Rust binary, one stdio MCP server, **seven fixed tools** — with pluggable drivers underneath. Adding a driver never adds a tool, so your tool/skill listing budget stays flat no matter how many ways Claude can reach the outside world.

Tool	Purpose
`channel_list()`	Enumerate channels across drivers
`channel_describe(channel, op?)`	On-demand JSON Schema for an op
`channel_send(channel, message, opts?)`	Async message (tmux: inject → verify → Enter, evidence-bearing receipt); `image:*` channels are act-only, so `channel_send` is rejected there — use `channel_act` with `generate`/`edit`
`channel_observe(channel, op, args)`	Read-only capability call (ops with `mutating: false` — `read`, `await_idle`)
`channel_act(channel, op, args)`	Mutating capability call (ops with `mutating: true` — `type`, `keys`, `ask`, `label`, image `generate`/`edit`)
`channel_recv(cursor?)`	Drain inbound envelope audit log
`channel_doctor()`	Aggregated per-driver diagnostics

Calling an op through the wrong tool (a mutating op via `channel_observe`, or vice versa) is rejected, naming the right tool — this split is what lets Claude Code's own MCP permission layer auto-allow "look" while gating "act".

Channels

tmux:%3 / tmux: — talk to whatever runs in another tmux pane (Codex CLI, another Claude, a shell), or type into a raw console (nc, telnet, serial) with no shell at all. Control-mode-first (`tmu
