Claude Code v2.1.242 ·

Each per-app tool now needs a specific permission tier

Per-app tools each require a permission tier, so a low grant lets Claude look but not act.

Tier mapping for per-app tools exists inside the host-gated computer-use feature.

What

The existing read, click and full permission tiers are mapped onto the individual per-app tools, so a low-tier grant permits looking but not acting. Calls below the required tier come back as tier_insufficient with guidance to request a higher tier.

Details
  • Read tier: app_list_windows, app_screenshot, app_ax_find, app_batch, app_bring_to_current_space.
  • Click tier: app_click, app_scroll.
  • Full tier: app_drag, app_type, app_key, app_menu.
  • app_menu additionally refuses Services submenu items and Apple-menu system actions; app_key refuses key combinations that would touch the system clipboard.
Evidence

tier_insufficient

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