[FEATURE] Add "approve for this response" permission scope
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
Currently, when Claude asks for confirmation before executing a tool, only two approval scopes are available:
- Approve once (single tool use)
- Approve for the entire session
Proposed Solution
Add an intermediate scope: "approve all actions in this response", which would automatically approve all subsequent tool uses triggered by the current prompt, then revert to asking for confirmation on the next prompt.
Alternative Solutions
_No response_
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
Feature Category
CLI commands and flags
Use Case Example
When a prompt requires multiple related tool uses (e.g. read several files, then edit them), the user has to approve each action individually. Session-wide approval is too broad since it removes all guardrails for the rest of
the session. A per-response scope would strike the right balance: grant trust for the current task without permanently lowering the confirmation bar.
Additional Context
_No response_
