A tool asks when all of these hold:\n\n- asking is switched on for Chrome tools\n\n- the tool is on a list of tools that should ask\n\n- the session is not set to avoid prompts\n\nOtherwise the tool runs at once as before. A permission rule that allows a whole tool may no longer cover these actions. Asking is controlled remotely and falls back to on when the server sends nothing.\n\n**Why**\n\nSome Chrome actions may now pause for confirmation, and a blanket allow rule you set up earlier may not stop those prompts.\n\n- Flag `tengu_cozy_eagle`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.290; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: on) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Flag `tengu_cowork_chrome_automode_default`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.290; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Chrome & Browser\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
