Reported in https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-base-action/issues/68#issuecomment-3022794779, Claude complains about not being able to use Bash, however the actual issue is:
It looks like you're only allowingBash(gh label list)so that's whyBash(gh issue view:*)wouldn't work
{
"type": "user",
"message": {
"role": "user",
"content": [
{
"type": "tool_result",
"content": "Claude requested permissions to use Bash, but you haven't granted it yet.",
"is_error": true,
"tool_use_id": "toolu_01BxziWmfYPrxXb7PoAWG7DC"
}
]
},
"parent_tool_use_id": "toolu_01BBatH17ZBPHayqp62x4e3L",
"session_id": "8fefc3e3-8bc9-4037-9b71-65c80856c510"
}
Clearer error message would help here, mentioning the Bash command too.
