SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Locks down programmatic Claude invocations to prevent accidental exposure of credentials and unintended tool usage by requiring a strict four-flag policy across CLI and SDK boundaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enforces a four-flag model (tools, allowedTools, disallowedTools, permissionMode) for Claude calls in workflows and code.
Provides guidance for Node scripts and Claude SDK usage to avoid unsafe calls and promote safe automation.
Use Case: When integrating Claude into a CI workflow, apply the lockdown to prevent bypassing permissions or enabling disallowed tools.

Quick Start

Apply the four-flag lockdown to all Claude invocations in your project using the helper APIs or CLI.

FAQPage Schema

How do I lock down Claude SDK calls to prevent unsafe tool usage in Node scripts?▼

To lock down Claude SDK calls, enforce a four-flag security model by specifying tools, allowedTools, disallowedTools, and permissionMode in your Node scripts. This prevents accidental credential exposure and ensures consistent, safe tool configurations across programmatic invocations.

What is the four-flag security model for Claude invocations?▼

The four-flag security model for Claude invocations mandates defining tools, allowedTools, disallowedTools, and permissionMode. It ensures strict tool usage control and prevents unsafe configurations by requiring a canonical implementation that enforces dontAsk permissionMode and disallows unsafe tool sets.

How do I apply Claude permission controls in CI pipelines to avoid bypassing permissions?▼

Apply Claude permission controls in CI pipelines by enforcing the four-flag lockdown model across all CLI and SDK boundaries. This requires setting dontAsk as the permissionMode and explicitly defining disallowedTools to prevent bypassing permissions during automated workflows.

Does enforcing safe Claude invocations work with CLI usage across editors?▼

Yes, enforcing safe Claude invocations works with CLI usage across editors and CI pipelines. The four-flag lockdown model applies consistently across Node scripts, Claude agent SDK calls, and CLI invocations to ensure uniform tool restrictions and prevent unsafe configurations.

Why do my Claude automation workflows bypass permissions and enable disallowed tools?▼

Claude automation workflows bypass permissions when they lack a strict four-flag policy. Without mandating tools, allowedTools, disallowedTools, and a dontAsk permissionMode, configurations remain unsafe and allow unintended tool usage or credential exposure across SDK boundaries.

When do I need to enforce the four-flag lockdown for Claude agent SDK calls?▼

You need to enforce the four-flag lockdown for Claude agent SDK calls whenever integrating Claude into CI workflows, Node scripts, or CLI automations. It is required to prevent bypassing permissions, enabling disallowed tools, and exposing credentials during programmatic execution.
