Tool Permissions

You can define which tools in Tabnine require user approval by using the ⚙︎ Settings → Tool Permissions → Native Tools panel.

To save time with Tabnine Agent, you can turn on Auto-approve ▾ from a dropdown menu in Settings.

Navigate to the hamburger menu symbol (the three lines ≡), then:

• Go to ⛯ Settings.

• Scroll down to and click Tool Permissions ▾.

• Finally, select Native tools ▾.

Here are the Native tools that will be available, complete with examples:

For each tool, you can pick from the following options:

• Auto-approve

• Disable

It is recommended to require user approval for sensitive operations.

However, options like Run Command and Apply Code will frequently come up as options in Tabnine Agent. Depending on your needs, you might elect to auto-approve these prompts for quicker results.
