530530* **Yes, and keep allowing any reads outside the working directories**: the read runs, later reads outside the working directories run as before, and Claude Code records your answer so the prompt doesn't appear again
531* **No, and block reads outside the working directories from now on**: the read is refused, and Claude Code sets [`permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories`](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings-reference#permissions-blockreadsoutsideworkingdirectories) to `true` in your user settings, which makes the file tools refuse such reads in every later session and every permission mode. To let Claude read such a path later, add its directory with `/add-dir` or remove the setting.
531* **No, and block reads outside the working directories from now on**: the read is refused, and Claude Code sets [`permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories`](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings-reference#permissions-blockreadsoutsideworkingdirectories) to `true` in your user settings, which makes the file tools refuse such reads in this and every later session and every permission mode. To lift the block, remove the setting from every [settings file](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings.md#settings-files-and-who-they-affect) that sets it, then restart each running session. For one directory this session, use `/add-dir`.
532532* **No, and ask again next time**: the read is refused, and the next read outside the working directories prompts again
533533* **Yes, but ask again next time**: the read runs, nothing is saved, and the next read outside the working directories prompts again
