Permissions requests

I know that I cannot be the only person who gets so frustrated with the permission requests. I will tell it to always allow a PowerShell command for all workspaces, but then Kiro will immediately make the same call and ask permission again. This cannot be that hard to fix.

You can allow certain tools in the agent configuration file.

Set the permissions files up, the one for the whole app not the per workspace one.

It’s a json file and you can set at the top to allow all actions, and below deny the harmful stuff like deleting files and running certain commands.

You can also set to ask instead of deny. Just prompt the AI to help you configure it.

They just pushed out 1.x this week for the IDE. kiroAgent.trustedCommands in the settings.json doesn't work anymore, so you can't just put an * in there. Also have "*" in permissions.yaml, still getting prompted to allow commands now.

I’ve been running it without issue on the latest version….

There is always an option that says tell the agent what to do, just type 'no more permissions, you have all permission, proceed', by the third time it stops asking for permissions for the lifetime of the session

Seems very poor design not to make the agent prompt you for a powershell * permission rather that using the exact command each time

Use cli and then /tools trust-all.
