GitHub Copilot assisted permissions are generally available in the CLI, the Copilot app and VS Code

GitHub says assisted permissions are now generally available in GitHub Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot app and Visual Studio Code. When Copilot asks to run a command, access a file system path or open a URL, a large language model evaluates the request. Requests it classifies as clearly safe proceed automatically; all others need the user's approval.

• Copilot CLI: run /permissions, then select assisted.
• Copilot app: open the mode picker, click Tool permissions, then select Assisted.
• VS Code: open the permissions picker, then select Assisted permissions.

Enterprise administrators can use enterprise-managed settings to block Allow All while keeping Assisted available, or to disable Assisted separately. They can also set the default permission mode for new sessions; developers can still pick another mode that policy permits. If the default is unavailable or prohibited by policy, the session starts with manual approval.
