16761676 * `"dontAsk"`: Claude Code auto-denies every call that would otherwise prompt; reads, other actions that need no approval, and pre-approved tools still run
16771677 * `"bypassPermissions"`: Claude Code runs everything without asking

1690Permission rules layer on top of every mode: `deny` rules block in every mode, including `bypassPermissions`. See [Permission modes](/docs/en/permission-modes). `manual` names the permission mode labeled Manual in the CLI and the VS Code extension; the alias requires Claude Code v2.1.200 or later. In cloud sessions, Claude Code honors only `acceptEdits`, `plan`, `default`, and `auto` from this key. For conversations the VS Code extension starts, see [which setting the extension reads for the starting permission mode](/docs/en/permission-modes#switch-permission-modes).
