The agent can deploy apps, delete files, send email and spend credits for you. Permissions decide which of those it does on its own and which it asks you about first. When it needs your approval, it stops in the chat and waits for you to allow or decline. There are two settings: one for Jobbit’s own tools, and one for each plugin.

Jobbit’s own tools

Settings › Customize › Permissions sets how often the agent asks before it acts with Jobbit’s own tools, such as deploying an app or deleting a project’s key. It applies to every chat.

OptionWhat happens
Always askThe agent asks before reading or changing anything
Ask before changesReading runs on its own; generating, saving or changing anything asks first
Ask for risky actionsThe default. Everyday work runs on its own; deleting, deploying and paying ask first
Never askEverything runs without asking
Never ask carries an elevated risk: a web page or document the agent reads could talk it into deleting or sending something, and nothing would stop to check with you.

Plugin permissions

Each plugin has a setting of its own, and the one above does not change it. In Settings › Customize › Plugins, open a plugin’s ⋯ menu and choose Permissions, or choose Manage › Permissions on its page.

Always askThe agent asks before reading or making changes
Allow read actionsReading runs on its own; changes still need your approval
Allow low-risk actionsThe default. Routine actions run on their own; elevated ones, such as moving email to the bin, still need approval
Allow all actionsEvery action the plugin offers runs without asking. Elevated risk
The change is saved as soon as you pick an option. The plugin page shows each of its tools as Read, Write or Destructive, so you can see what an option lets through.
