How to configure permission auto-approve in OpenACP?

[0xMag1ci4n]

I trust my agent and don't want to manually approve every file read and write. Is there a way to auto-approve permission requests in OpenACP?

By default, every agent action (read file, write file, run command) requires your approval via buttons on Telegram/Discord/Slack. Timeout: 10 minutes — no response = auto-reject.

Enable auto-approve (dangerous mode):

Via API CLI:

openacp api dangerous <session-id> on    # Enable auto-approve for session
openacp api dangerous <session-id> off   # Disable auto-approve

When dangerous mode is on, the agent is automatically approved for all permission requests without requiring you to press any button.

Note: Dangerous mode is per-session only, not global. Each new session defaults to dangerousMode: false.

How the Permission Gate works:

1. Agent sends a permission request
2. OpenACP displays the request + buttons (approve/deny) on the messaging app
3. You press a button within 10 minutes
4. If timeout → auto-reject with reason "Permission request timed out (no response received)"
5. If dangerous mode is on → auto-approve, skip buttons
