  "description": "The mechanizable slice of excessive agency, enforced at two points: at commit (the git hook, over staged changes) and at agent tool-use (over a tool call's arguments, as the agent writes) -- agent permission grants that allow everything. A settings file whose shell grant or allow-list is a bare wildcard hands the agent unlimited tool authority for every future session, in a file reviewers rarely read as code. The agent-world twin of block-wildcard-iam: scope grants to what the task needs (e.g. Bash(git status:*)). The allow/alwaysAllow/tools/defaultMode keys match whether or not YAML-style config quotes them, word-bounded so \"disallow\"/\"allowlist\" are not mistaken for \"allow\". Escape: 'pragma: allowlist broad-agency' on the same line. [Session-enforced via PreToolUse and Stop hooks; needs git and a Python 3.11+. PreToolUse judges the file a tool call would write; Stop re-reads what the turn actually left on disk, so a file written through a shell heredoc is judged too. With no working Python the hook exits 2; without git, fail-open clients allow silently. A gate that cannot reach a decision refuses rather than allowing one it never judged. Enforcement at every commit and in CI still needs chock installed in the repo. Codex requires a one-time trust review per hook -- the plugin is ADVISORY until you approve its hook, and a plugin update voids that trust until re-approved.]",
