The tools Claude uses to read, write and edit files, and to edit notebooks, check each request before acting on it.\n\nThat check now looks at your deny rules first. If the path is blocked, the request is rejected right away and marked as denied by a permission rule, before any of the other path checks run.\n\n**Why**\n\nRequests aimed at files you have blocked are turned away at the earliest step.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
