Configure what a coding agent may do without asking, balancing autonomy against the cost of an unwanted action. Use when setting up an agent's permissions for a project.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Agent tool permissions Permission configuration decides how much the agent can do unattended. Too restrictive and every step needs approval until you stop reading them; too permissive and a mistaken command is executed before you see it. ## Method 1. **Allow read operations broadly.** Reading files, searching, and running tests are cheap, reversible, and needed constantly, so prompting on them trains you to approve blindly. 2. **Gate anything that writes outside the working tree.** Package installs, system changes, and network calls have effects that outlive the session. 3. **Never auto-approve destructive commands.** Force pushes, deletions, and history rewrites need a human every time (see agent-human-checkpoint). 4. **Scope credentials to the project.** An agent inherits your environment, so limit what those credentials can reach (see api-credential-rotation). 5. **Review permission rules periodically.** Rules accumulate during frustrating sessions and are rarely revisited (see repository-permissions). 6. **Use a sandbox for exploratory work.** A container or worktree limits the blast radius of an autonomous session (see …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/agent-tool-permissions@sha256:273d7986def52d8dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.819a393, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
