What issue are you seeing?
Agent keeps asking me for confirmation to run mcp tools, despite it running in the danger mode.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
have this as part of your config.toml
sandbox_mode = "danger-full-access"
# any other mcp would probably do, I'm just using mine as an example
[mcp_servers.chunk-hound]
command = "chunkhound"
# Optional
args = ["mcp", "/workspaces/"]
tool_timeout_sec = 12000
startup_timeout_sec = 30
What is the expected behavior?
Execution should be "no questions asked". As it was up to and including version 0.116.0
