DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.236

Saving database documents to disk asks for the exact path, and re-checks it at run time

Permissions not in their notes

Approving a database read that saves files now names the exact destination and flags paths outside your workspace.

out_dir
What

Because a read that saves files writes to your disk, the approval names the exact destination path and flags destinations outside the session's working paths as needing your own approval rather than automatic approval.

Details
  • The approved destination is remembered for the call, and execution refuses if out_dir was added, removed, or changed after you approved it.
  • The result line becomes a count of documents saved under the directory plus a skipped count.
  • The parameter is only offered when the artifact database action itself is available in the session.
Evidence

read_db saves only to local directories — out_dir names a network path

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
