23| Field | Description |

25| `path` | The folder path (required). Subfolders are included. |
26| `mode` | `rw` (the default) or `ro`. The agent can view and search a read-only folder but cannot modify it in Cowork. In Code sessions, read-only applies to Claude's file tools only; shell commands and SSH sessions do not enforce it. |
27| `isDefaultSelected` | When `true`, the folder appears already selected on the new-task page and skips the trust prompt. Users can remove it. |
