🌐 Web query:
What are the valid permission names for Claude Code settings.json permissions.allow array?
💡 Result:
The valid permission names for the permissions.allow array in Claude Code's settings.json are the exact tool names used in permission rules. These are listed in the official Tools reference documentation. Core tools include: - Agent (spawns subagents) - AskUserQuestion - Bash (shell commands) - CronCreate, CronDelete, CronList (scheduled tasks) - Edit (modify files) - ExitPlanMode - Glob (file pattern search) - Grep (search file contents) - LSP (language server protocol) - NotebookEdit - Read (read files) - TaskOutput - TodoWrite (task checklist) - ToolSearch - WebFetch (fetch URL content) - WebSearch - Write (create/overwrite files) Additional patterns: - Agent(AgentName) e.g., Agent(Explore), Agent(Plan) - Bash(command_pattern) e.g., Bash(npm run *) - Read(file_pattern), Edit(file_pattern), Write(file_pattern) using gitignore-style globs - WebFetch(domain:example.com) - mcpservertool for MCP tools Rules follow the format "Tool" or "Tool(specifier)". Use just the tool name to allow all uses, or add specifiers for fine-grained control. Deny rules take precedence.

Pre-authorizing Edit and Write permissions bypasses safety prompts—ensure this aligns with your security requirements.
The "Edit" and "Write" permission names are valid in Claude Code. However, this configuration grants automatic file modification and creation without interactive confirmation.
Risk: Claude will modify and create files without explicit approval for each operation, increasing the chance of unintended changes propagating if instructions are misunderstood or if the AI makes mistakes.
When this is appropriate: Personal development environments where you fully trust the AI's judgment and can quickly recover from errors.
When to reconsider: Shared repositories, production codebases, environments with critical files, or when you need explicit oversight of every modification.
Make a deliberate decision about whether this security trade-off is acceptable for your workflow and codebase sensitivity.
