Agent Control

Agent Control lets you interact with running Claude Code sessions directly from the web dashboard — approve tool calls, send follow-up messages, review plans, or stop runaway agents.

What you can do

Section titled “What you can do”
  • Approve tool calls — when an agent requests permission (e.g., git push), approve or reject from the dashboard
  • Send messages — inject a follow-up message into the agent’s conversation
  • Review plans — approve or reject agent plans before implementation starts
  • Answer questions — respond to agent clarification prompts (AskUserQuestion, Elicitation)
  • Stop agent — gracefully stop a running session

How it works

Section titled “How it works”

Agent control uses a Node.js sidecar process powered by the Claude Agent SDK. The sidecar connects to your running Claude Code sessions via IPC and exposes control actions through the claude-view web dashboard.

All control actions work locally — no cloud relay needed for web dashboard control.

Remote control (mobile)

Section titled “Remote control (mobile)”

For controlling agents from your phone or a remote browser, the cloud relay is required. The relay forwards encrypted control messages between your device and the desktop server.

Pro plan — Cloud relay access is included in the Pro tier (coming soon). The web dashboard is always free.

Chat interface

Section titled “Chat interface”

The dashboard includes a full chat interface with:

  • Streaming message display
  • Interactive permission cards with countdown auto-deny
  • Plan approval cards
  • Elicitation/question response cards
  • Session resume with cost estimation (ResumePreFlight)
