Requests permission from the user for a tool call operation.
Called by the agent when it needs user authorization before executing a potentially sensitive operation. The client should present the options to the user and return their decision.
If the client cancels the prompt turn via session/cancel, it MUST
respond to this request with RequestPermissionOutcome::Cancelled.
See protocol docs: Requesting Permission
Handles session update notifications from the agent.
This is a notification endpoint (no response expected) that receives real-time updates about session progress, including message chunks, tool calls, and execution plans.
Note: Clients SHOULD continue accepting tool call updates even after
sending a session/cancel notification, as the agent may send final
updates before responding with the cancelled stop reason.
See protocol docs: Agent Reports Output

The Client interface defines the interface that ACP-compliant clients must implement.
Clients are typically code editors (IDEs, text editors) that provide the interface between users and AI agents. They manage the environment, handle user interactions, and control access to resources.
