Use the bound agent_id and session_id from the host context or from register_agent and ensure_agent_session. Claude hooks may expose these as ZULIPCHAT_AGENT_ID and ZULIPCHAT_SESSION_ID; other hosts can retain tool results. Never infer ownership from message text or a request ID alone.

Use agent_message for useful milestone, blocked, failure, completion, and handoff updates. Poll poll_agent_events between substantial steps when the extended tool is exposed. Preserve the event cursor to avoid repeating commands. Honor /status, /pause, /resume, /cancel, and /handoff from the verified owner. A canceled task stops; a resumed task retains its original objective. MCP delivers these control events; the coding host must apply them. It does not launch an agent or interrupt running local tools. Report a pause or cancellation as requested until the host confirms that transition; do not claim enforcement from event receipt alone.

For approval, persist a concrete request with request_user_input, retain its ID, and use wait_for_response for that request. Only an immutable decision for the matching request and owner/session is actionable. A wait timeout is not an approval. Keep the coding host's existing permission checks in effect.

For owner questions, advertise /reply REQUEST_ID YOUR ANSWER. For approval requests use /approve REQUEST_ID or /deny REQUEST_ID. Poll with wait_for_response(request_id=..., timeout_seconds=30) and retain the same request ID after a timeout. Resume polling instead of posting a duplicate prompt. For replayable steering, use poll_agent_events(auto_ack=False, session_id=...) and acknowledge consumed event IDs on the next poll with ack_event_ids.
