Developer finds Claude Code permission list bloated, creates cleanup tool

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer discovered that Claude Code's permission rules list had grown to 285 entries, with only 41 being actively useful. The majority of these rules, particularly over 150 per-domain WebFetch rules, became redundant once a broader wildcard rule was added. To address this, the developer created a tool called `consolidate-permission-prompts` that identifies and removes these unnecessary rules without restricting any previously allowed actions, offering a cleanup solution for accumulated permissions. AI
