How it works
By default, Sixth will ask for your permission before calling any tool, including reading or writing files. If you want to allow Sixth to do something without asking, you can set the Auto Approve permission for that tool.Permission Options
-
Read project files
- Allows Sixth to read files within your current workspace without asking
- Read all files
- Extends read permission to files outside your workspace (system files, config files, etc.)
-
Edit project files
- Allows Sixth to modify files within your current workspace without confirmation
- Edit all files
- Extends modification permission to files outside your workspace
-
Execute safe commands
- Allows execution of terminal commands that the model deems non-destructive
- Execute all commands
- Permits execution of any terminal command without asking
-
Use the browser
- Allows Sixth to use the browser tool to fetch web content
-
Use MCP servers
- Permits connection to and usage of MCP servers for extended functionality
-
Maximum requests
- Sets the number of consecutive automated actions Sixth can take before requiring your input
Best Practices
Personally, I like to keep auto-editing disabled because it gives me a chance to review changes every step of the way. For most serious development workflows, I recommend starting with:- Auto-approving read access to project files
- Setting a reasonable maximum request limit (10-20)
