Permission Errors

Troubleshoot permission-related issues in C3.

Tool Permission Denied

Accidentally rejected a tool

If you reject a tool request, the agent will acknowledge and continue. You can ask the agent to retry the same action.

Tools not auto-approving

Check your permission mode setting. Auto-approval only works in certain modes (Accept Edits, Bypass All).

Allowed Tools

Individual tools can be configured to auto-approve. Check your allowed tools settings in the session menu.

File Access Issues

Agent can't read files

  • Verify the file exists at the specified path
  • Check file system permissions on your computer
  • Ensure the path is within the project directory

Agent can't write files

  • Check write permissions on the directory
  • Ensure the disk isn't full
  • Verify you're not in Plan mode (which blocks writes)

Permission Mode Issues

Mode not changing

Permission mode changes take effect immediately. If it seems stuck, try closing and reopening the session.

Plan mode blocking all actions

Plan mode is designed to prevent execution. Switch to another mode if you want the agent to make actual changes.
