Permission mode
The setting governing which actions need approval and which simply run. The dial between speed and safety, and the one most teams set once and never revisit.
How you’ll hear it
“Can we let it run without asking?”
“For read-only tasks, yes. Not for anything that sends or deletes.”
Avoid
Setting permissions once and never revisiting them.
The longer version
A permission mode sets which actions need approval and which run automatically. Looser is faster, stricter is safer. The right setting depends on how reversible the actions are and how much is at stake.
