Allow all commands in any AI coding agent: Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI and 7 more (2026)

• Cursor: Settings > Agents > Approvals & Execution, Run Mode = Run Everything (no sandbox, no review).
• Claude Code: claude --dangerously-skip-permissions, meant only for containers or VMs. Auto mode is the reviewed middle ground: no routine prompts while a classifier checks actions.
• OpenAI Codex CLI: --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox, alias --yolo, removes both approvals and the sandbox.
• Gemini CLI: --yolo (same as --approval-mode yolo). It can only be turned on from the command line.
• GitHub Copilot CLI: --allow-all-tools skips tool prompts; --allow-all or --yolo turns on all permissions at once.
• Cline: Cline Settings > Features > YOLO Mode. It disables all safety checks.
• goose: GOOSE_MODE=auto, which is already the default and edits and deletes files without asking.
• Junie CLI: brave mode, toggled with /brave or Ctrl+B, or junie --brave. Level On runs all sensitive actions without asking.
• Factory Droid: droid exec --auto high for headless runs.
• OpenCode: set permission rules to allow in opencode.json.
• Kiro: allow rules in ~/.kiro/settings/permissions.yaml.
• Zed: agent.tool_permissions with default set to allow.

Most tools let you allow specific commands while still asking for everything else. This keeps routine work like tests, linters and git reads fast without handing the agent rm, git push or cloud CLIs.

• Codex pairs an approval policy with a sandbox: read-only, workspace-write or danger-full-access. codex --sandbox workspace-write --ask-for-approval on-request lets it edit the workspace and asks before leaving it. Network access is off by default in workspace-write.
• Cursor's Auto-review mode runs allowlisted calls immediately and sends other shell commands to the sandbox when possible.
• Junie's --sandbox flag lets you use brave mode with less risk; it is only in development, nightly and experimental builds and not on Windows.
• Claude Code's own guidance is to use --dangerously-skip-permissions only inside a container or VM, as a non-root user.

• Claude Code: deny first, then ask, then allow.
• GitHub Copilot CLI: --deny-tool always beats the allow options.
• Kiro: deny beats ask, and ask beats allow, across every scope.
• OpenCode: the last matching rule wins, so put the catch-all first and specific patterns after it.
• goose: environment variables override config.yaml, which overrides defaults.

• Cursor: Run Everything, allowlist and sandbox
• Claude Code: permission modes, allow rules and skip permissions
• Claude Code: allow, ask and deny rule syntax
• Codex CLI: approval modes and --yolo
• Codex CLI: sandbox modes and network access
• Gemini CLI: YOLO mode and allowed shell commands
• GitHub Copilot CLI: --allow-tool, --deny-tool and --allow-all-tools
• Cline: Auto Approve and YOLO Mode
• goose: GOOSE_MODE permission modes
• OpenCode: allow, ask or deny permissions
• Kiro: permissions.yaml rules
• Junie: brave mode and action allowlist
• Zed: tool_permissions for the terminal
• Factory Droid: autonomy levels and droid exec
