What
A new SendFile tool lets Claude send one or more local files to another Claude Code session — a peer session on the same machine or a Remote Control / cloud session on a different machine.
Details
- Local sessions are addressed by name or by explicit
uds:<socket>address. Cloud sessions usebridge:<session-id>. - Files are verified with a SHA-256 digest after transfer, so the receiver can confirm integrity.
- Same-machine transfers travel over a Unix domain socket (no data leaves the host). Cross-machine transfers upload file contents through Anthropic servers; this path can be restricted with the
isolatePeerMachinessetting. - An optional
messageparameter delivers a short note alongside the files. - Agents within the same session are explicitly excluded — they already share the filesystem, so there is nothing to transfer.
- When
isolatePeerMachinesis enabled, cross-machine sends require explicit approval before anything is uploaded. - To find available peer sessions, use the existing session-listing tool:
Use <ListSessions> to see the sessions you can send files to.
