Coding permissions

Open Settings → Agent → Coding agent permissions. This setting controls coding tasks Nock starts with Claude Code or Codex. It is not the same as Nock’s own agent access mode, a Team message approval, or the permission setting you chose in another coding-tool session.

Choose a mode

Mode	What it means
Auto (default)	Uses the coding tool’s own safety reviewer and supported restrictions. Actions its reviewer escalates still come to you.
Ask me	The coding tool asks before actions according to its own prompt and integration.
Full access	Removes major prompts and sandbox restrictions. The coding tool may change files, run commands, and use network access broadly.

The exact safeguards differ between Claude Code and Codex. Some models or runtime paths may have different prompt behavior, so read the coding tool’s own question instead of assuming the setting changes every prompt in the same way.

When it applies

The choice applies the next time Nock starts or resumes a supported Claude Code or Codex run. It cannot undo an action that already happened. If a task opens as a chat in the agent helper, Nock passes the selected mode when that tool accepts it; otherwise the tool can use its own existing permission setting.

Read-only requests stay read-only in the supported path, regardless of this selection. A task’s visible question remains yours to answer unless you separately enable Answer for me after 2 minutes. That switch is on by default and applies to unanswered questions on eligible background coding tasks Nock started. It does not apply to chats you found in a coding tool, or to chats Nock started in the agent helper—even if those chats appear in the Agents panel or their own window. It never approves a permission prompt. See Coding-task questions for the distinction.

Different controls for different agents

• Coding-agent permissions are for Claude Code and Codex work Nock starts or resumes.
• Nock’s agent access mode controls what Nock’s own voice agent may do and when its action cards appear. See Task approvals.
• Chat Manager sends instructions to existing coding chats and can answer a chat’s explicit question when you tell it what to choose. Its two-second Undo is not a coding permission mode. See Chat Manager commands.
• Team messages remain in the Team inbox unless you choose Send to chat or separately opt a shared chat into automatic delivery. See Shared chats.

Start with a specific project and the least access that accomplishes your task. Avoid Full access just to get past a confusing prompt. Review the requested scope and decline when it goes beyond your instruction.
