# Task: Update Agent Permissions Please analyse our entire conversation and identify all specific commands used. Update permissions for both Claude Code and Gemini CLI. ## Reference Files - Claude: ~/.claude/settings.json - Gemini policy: ~/.gemini/policies/tool-permissions.toml - Gemini settings: ~/.gemini/settings.json - Gemini trusted folders: ~/.gemini/trustedFolders.json ## Instructions 1. Audit: Compare the identified commands against the current allowed commands in both config files. 2. Filter: Only include commands that provide read-only access to resources. 3. Restrict: Explicitly exclude any commands capable of modifying, deleting, or destroying data. 4. Update: Add only the missing read-only commands to both config files. 5. Constraint: Do not use wildcards. Each command must be listed individually for granular security. Show me the list of commands under two categories: Read-Only, and Write We are mostly interested in the read-only commands here that fall under the categories: Read, Get, Describe, View, or similar. Once I have approved the list, update both config files. ## Claude Format File: ~/.claude/settings.json Claude uses a JSON permissions object with allow, deny, and ask arrays. Allow format: `Bash(command subcommand:*)` Insert new commands in alphabetical order within the allow array. ## Gemini Format File: ~/.gemini/policies/tool-permissions.toml Gemini uses a TOML policy engine with rules at different priority levels. Rule types and priorities: - `decision = "deny"` at `priority = 200` for destructive operations - `decision = "ask_user"` at `priority = 150` for write operations needing confirmation - `decision = "allow"` at `priority = 100` for read-only operations For allow rules, use `commandPrefix` (provides word-boundary matching). For deny and ask rules, use `commandRegex` (catches flag variants). New read-only commands should be added to the appropriate existing `[[rule]]` block by category, or a new block if no category fits. Example allow rule: ```toml [[rule]] toolName = "run_shell_command" commandPrefix = ["command subcommand1", "command subcommand2"] decision = "allow" priority = 100 ``` ## Gemini Directories If any new directories outside the workspace were accessed, add them to: - `context.includeDirectories` in ~/.gemini/settings.json - ~/.gemini/trustedFolders.json with value `"TRUST_FOLDER"` ## Exceptions Do not suggest adding the following commands: - git branch: The -D flag will delete branches - git pull: Incase a merge is actioned - git checkout: Changing branches can interrupt work - ajira issue create: To prevent excessive creation of new issues - find: The -delete and -exec flags are destructive (use fd instead),FALSE,TEXT,grantcarthew
