authorize

To grant temporary authorization for Edit and Write operations, you run the authorize command with a specific reason. This creates a session-specific JSON file containing the grant time and expiration details, which a pre-tool use gate checks to ensure controlled access to modification capabilities.

Session-scoped authorization works by creating a JSON file with specific grant and expiration timestamps tied to the current session. A pre-tool use gate checks this file to verify that explicit permission has been granted before allowing sensitive operations like editing or writing files.

Work authorization lasts for a maximum of 4 hours before it automatically expires. This time-limited access ensures that permission for sensitive operations is temporary and must be explicitly granted again if further modifications are needed after the expiration period.

You need to explicitly authorize code changes before making significant modifications or writing new files in your development workflow. Running the authorization command with a logged reason ensures you have the necessary permissions for sensitive operations while enhancing security and control.

Yes, you need to provide a reason when requesting work authorization for editing files. The system logs this reason within the session-specific authorization details, ensuring there is a clear record of why temporary access to modification capabilities was granted.

Yes, you can use session management to restrict permissions by granting authorization specifically for Edit and Write operations. This mechanism ensures that only explicitly permitted modification capabilities are allowed, while other operations remain unaffected by the temporary access grant.
