See [Auto mode configuration](/docs/en/auto-mode-config). The built-in starting permission mode on these providers is Manual. See [which mode a session starts in](/docs/en/permission-modes#which-mode-a-session-starts-in).

 <span id="fn3" style={{display: 'block', position: 'relative', top: '-120px'}} /><sup>3</sup> Explicit intervals such as `/loop every 2 hours` work on every provider. On Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, and Microsoft Foundry, `/loop` cannot pick its own interval or supply the default maintenance prompt, so a prompt with no interval runs every 10 minutes, and `/loop` with no arguments shows the usage message. See [Scheduled tasks](/docs/en/scheduled-tasks).<br />
