What would you like to be added?

Enable the enablePermanentToolApproval setting by default by changing its default value from false to true in the settings schema.

Why is this needed?

The "Allow for all future sessions" option is a highly useful feature for low-risk tools and trusted workspaces. Users have expressed a preference for this option to be available by default to reduce the number of confirmation prompts they encounter during regular development workflows.

Additional context

This change involves updating packages/cli/src/config/settingsSchema.ts and updating related UI test snapshots.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Update the enablePermanentToolApproval setting's default value to true in the settingsSchema.ts file to enable the feature by default.

Guidance

  • Locate the settingsSchema.ts file in packages/cli/src/config/ and identify the enablePermanentToolApproval setting.
  • Update the default value of enablePermanentToolApproval from false to true.
  • After making the change, update related UI test snapshots to reflect the new default behavior.
  • Verify that the "Allow for all future sessions" option is now enabled by default in the application.

Example

// In settingsSchema.ts
const settingsSchema = {
  // ...
  enablePermanentToolApproval: {
    type: 'boolean',
    default: true, // Update the default value to true
  },
  // ...
}

Notes

This change assumes that the settingsSchema.ts file is the single source of truth for the application's settings and that updating this file will propagate the change to the rest of the application.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the enablePermanentToolApproval setting's default value to true to reduce the number of confirmation prompts for users, as this change is intended to improve the user experience for low-risk tools and trusted workspaces.
