What
An allow rule is a line in a settings file that lets Claude use a tool without asking you each time. Claude Code now refuses to add one in these cases:
Looks like a secret: the rule seems to contain a password, key or similar.
Check failed: the check for secrets could not run.
Tracked by git: the settings file is tracked by git, so it would be saved into your project's history.
When this happens, the rule is not saved and you are told why.
Why
It stops a secret in a permission rule from being written into a file that could get committed and shared.
