Bug Description

  • this is a background job running in auto mode. In an interactive session you'd have gotten a permission dialog and could have clicked allow. In auto mode the classifier stands in for that dialog, and there's no human in the loop for it to ask — so it declined on its own.
  • Permission for this action was denied by the Claude Code auto mode classifier. Reason: Blocked by classifier.

Those are absurd blockers, i'm running the queries to a local testing database, there is an mcp server set in readonly mode to access to the database to enforce the security, all the bash and ' mysql ' permissions are denied. I WANT THE AGENT RUN THE QUERY through the mcp without setting the permissions for a thing that is already allowed.
