What

Claude Code has a built-in check that runs before certain tools are used. If the input to the tool call contains the email address of the account you are signed in with, Claude Code asks you before going ahead. The message says the input holds your account email address, which may leave this machine, and tells Claude to go on without it if nobody asked to send it.

The check covers these tools:

For the shell tools, it only asks when the command looks like it will reach the network.

The check is set to be enabled by default, and whether it is enabled can only be changed from trusted settings.

Why

You may start seeing this permission prompt during normal work. It stops your email address from being sent to a website or remote service without you noticing.
