Grant the imsg CLI its macOS privacy permissions (Full Disk Access, Automation → Messages, Contacts) and prove each one from every parent that runs imsg; on a SIP-off Mac, also deploy its IMCore bridge. Use when setting up imsg on a Mac, after `brew upgrade imsg` or a node upgrade, when imsg fails with "unable to open database file", "Not authorized to send Apple events" or "(Contacts unavailable)", or when typing indicators, read receipts or `imsg status` need the IMCore bridge.
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
# imsg-permissions imsg (openclaw/imsg, Homebrew) needs three macOS privacy grants; upstream lists them in [docs/permissions.md](https://github.com/openclaw/imsg/blob/main/docs/permissions.md). How TCC grants work, and the backup-first steps for a `TCC.db` edit, are in [macos-tcc.md](~/.agents/docs/macos-tcc.md). Read it before step 3. The work centres on the **grant table**: one row per parent that runs imsg, one column per gate. A cell is ✅ only when a real command from that real parent passed. | Parent | Full Disk Access | Automation → Messages | Contacts | |---|---|---|---| | SSH | | | | | Terminal.app, Ghostty, iTerm2 (each one installed) | | | | | paseo daemon (charged to its LaunchAgent's first program, `/bin/zsh`, or node on hosts in macbook-provision's `paseo_node_launch_hosts` (mac-mini-m6); with SIP on, node under a zsh job is denied, personal-agent Q265–Q266) | | | | | imsg as its own process (LaunchAgent) | | | | …

How to install
mdr add soulmachine/skills/imsg-permissions@sha256:225b5478c816e797The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.003b5d2, 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.
