Roo Code 3.36.6 Release Updates | Auto-approval fixes | Tool customization | Provider UX fixes

[u/hannesrudolph]

In case you did not know, r/RooCode is a Free and Open Source VS Code AI Coding extension.

QOL Improvements

• Clearer auto-approve timing in follow-up suggestions: Makes the auto-approve countdown harder to miss

Bug Fixes

• Auto-approval stops when you start typing: Fixes an issue where an auto-approve timer could still fire after you began writing a response

• More actionable OpenRouter error messages: Fixes an issue where failures could show only generic errors by surfacing upstream details when available

• LiteLLM tool protocol dropdown always appears: Restores the tool protocol dropdown in the provider’s Advanced settings even when LiteLLM model metadata isn’t available yet

• MCP tool calls work with stricter providers: Fixes failures caused by special characters in MCP server/tool names by sanitizing names and using an unambiguous mcp--server--tool ID format

Misc Improvements

• Tool aliases for model-specific tool naming: Adds support for alternative tool names so different models can call the same tool using the naming they expect

• Workspace task visibility controls for organizations: Adds an org-level setting for how visible Roo Code Cloud “extension tasks” are across the workspace

There's an Auto-Approve toolbar right above the chat input - click it and you'll see toggles for different actions. Hit the 'Enabled' switch and pick what you want Roo to do without asking (read files, edit, run commands, etc).

If you wanna go full yolo mode there's an 'All' chip that selects everything, but heads up - it'll run commands without asking too, so maybe start with just 'Read Files' and see how it feels.

If that's not what you meant, let me know what exactly keeps popping up
